The case studies are arranged in increasing order of complexity based on the mathematical methods required to analyze the models. The development of these methods is also included, providing a self-contained presentation. To reinforce and supplement the material introduced, original problem sets are offered involving case studies closely related to the ones presented. With this style, the text’s perspective, scope, and completeness of the subject matter are considered unique. Having grown out of four self-contained courses taught by the authors, this text will be of use in a two-semester sequence for advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students, requiring rudimentary knowledge of advanced calculus and differential equations, along with a basic understanding of some simple physical and biological scientific principles. .Mathematical modelsBiomathematicsMathematical physicsMathematical Modeling and Industrial Mathematicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M14068Mathematical and Computational Biologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M31000Mathematical Applications in the Physical Scienceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M13120Mathematical models.Biomathematics.Mathematical physics.Mathematical Modeling and Industrial Mathematics.Mathematical and Computational Biology.Mathematical Applications in the Physical Sciences.003.3Wollkind David Jauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut767653Dichone Bonni Jauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910271253903321Comprehensive Applied Mathematical Modeling in the Natural and Engineering Sciences2047130UNINA
