Giordano, Frank R.
A first course in mathematical modeling / Frank R. Giordano, Naval Postgraduate School, William P. Fox, Naval Postgraduate School, Steven B. Horton, Univet States Military Academy - 5th ed., International ed. - xxii, 676 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm
Previous ed.: 2009.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Modeling change -- The modeling process, proportionality, and geometric similarity -- Model fitting -- Experimental modeling -- Simulation modeling -- Discrete probabilistic modeling -- Optimization of discrete models -- Modeling using graph theory -- Modeling with decision theory -- Game theory -- Modeling with a differential equation -- Modeling with systems of differential equations -- Optimization of continuous models.
Delivers a balance of theory and practice, giving students hands-on experience developing and sharpening their skills in the modeling process. This title helps students to practice key facets of modeling, including creative and empirical model construction, model analysis, and model research.
