Solutions to exercises. 330 $aIn this book we describe the magic world of mathematical models: starting from real-life problems, we formulate them in terms of equations, transform equations into algorithms and algorithms into programs to be executed on computers. A broad variety of examples and exercises illustrate that properly designed models can, e.g.: predict the way the number of dolphins in the Aeolian Sea will change as food availability and fishing activity vary; describe the blood flow in a capillary network; calculate the PageRank of websites. This book also includes a chapter with an elementary introduction to Octave, an open-source programming language widely used in the scientific community. Octave functions and scripts for dealing with the problems presented in the text can be downloaded from https://paola-gervasio.unibs.it/quarteroni-gervasio This book is addressed to any student interested in learning how to construct and apply mathematical models. 410 0$aLa Matematica per il 3+2,$x2038-5722 ;$v121 606 $aMathematical models 606 $aEngineering mathematics 606 $aMathematical analysis 615 0$aMathematical models. 615 0$aEngineering mathematics. 615 0$aMathematical analysis. 676 $a515 700 $aQuarteroni$b Alfio$08375 702 $aGervasio$b Paola 702 $aChiossi$b Simon G. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483434203321 996 $aA Primer on Mathematical Modelling$91886073 997 $aUNINA
