The practice of modeling is best learned by those armed with fundamental methodologies and exposed to a wide variety of modeling experience. Applied Mathematical Modeling fills a gap within modeling texts, focusing on real-world applications across a broad range of disciplines. The first part of the book discusses the general components of the modeling process and highlights the potential of modeling in practice. The second part provides a rich compendium of case studies, each one complete with examples, exercises, and projects.
