In an age where almost everything is done on a computer, author Clive Dym believes that students need to understand and ""own"" the underlying mathematics that computers are doing on their behalf. His goal for Principles of Mathematical Modeling, Second Edition, is to engage the student reader in developing a foundational understanding of the subject that will serve them well into their careers.
