Lucidly written so as to appeal to undergraduates and practitioners alike, it enables readers to set up simple mathematical models on their own and to interpret their results and those of others critically. To achieve this, many examples have been chosen from various fields, such as biology, ecology, economics, medicine, agricultural, chemical, electrical, mechanical and process engineering, which are subsequently Mathematical modelsComputer simulationScienceMathematical modelsEngineeringMathematical modelsScienceComputer simulationEngineeringComputer simulationElectronic books.Mathematical models.Computer simulation.ScienceMathematical models.EngineeringMathematical models.ScienceComputer simulation.EngineeringComputer simulation.511.8511/.8Velten Kai916515MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910139501003321Mathematical modeling and simulation2054512UNINA
