Résumé

Includes a mix of classical and modern examples drawn from a wide range of disciplines
Worked out illustrations cover mechanical, electrical, civil, and chemical engineering, biological and environmental sciences as well as economics
Includes a Solutions CD with practice problems

This textbook is designed for junior/senior (3rd, 4th year) students in engineering and the physical sciences who are taking courses in mathematical modeling or applied mathematics. The text introduces the reader to setting up and solving mathematical models and physical systems based on algebraic and ordinary differential equations. Unlike the competition, it is less mathematical and focuses more on the description of physical systems. It contains numerous classical and modern illustrations drawn from the sciences, engineering, and economics accompanied by detailed descriptions of the underlying physics and mathematics.
