mathematical modeling at the senior undergraduate or graduate level, or used as a reference for in-service scientists and engineers. The book provides an overview of mathematical modeling through a panoramic view of applications of mathematics in science and technology. In each chapter, mathematical models are chosen from the physical, biological, social, economic, management, and engineering sciences. The models deal with differentconcepts, but have a common mathematical structure and bring out the unifying influence of mathematical modeling in different disciplines.FEATURES:Provides a balance between theory and applicationsFeatures models from the physical, biological, social, economic, management, and engineering sciences 610 $aAlgebras, Linear 610 $aMathematical Optimization 610 $aDifference Equations 610 $aMathematics 676 $a511.8 700 $aKapur$b J.
