From genetic engineering to hurricane prediction, mathematical models guide much of the decision-making in our society, and if the assumptions and methods underlying the modeling are flawed, the outcome can be disastrously poor, as recent events have proved. Since mathematical modeling is a rapidly growing specialty with applications in so many scientific and technical disciplines, there is a need for mathematically rigorous treatments of the subject, and particularly for texts that expose students to a range of possible approaches."--Publisher's website. 606 $aMathematical models 606 $aMathematical models 606 $aCivil & Environmental Engineering$2HILCC 606 $aEngineering & Applied Sciences$2HILCC 606 $aOperations Research$2HILCC 608 $aElectronic books 615 0$aMathematical models. 615 0$aMathematical models 615 7$aCivil & Environmental Engineering 615 7$aEngineering & Applied Sciences 615 7$aOperations Research 676 $a511/.8 700 $aMeerschaert$b Mark M.$f1955-$053538 801 0$bDLC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996426335803316 996 $aMathematical modeling$91144083 997 $aUNISA 999 $aThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
