Introduction to Mathematical Modeling

Introduction to Mathematical Modeling helps students master the processes used by scientists and engineers to model real-world problems, including the challenges posed by space exploration, climate change, energy sustainability, chaotic dynamical systems and random processes.

Primarily intended for students with a working knowledge of calculus but minimal training in computer programming in a first course on modeling, the more advanced topics in the book are also useful for advanced undergraduate and graduate students seeking to get to grips with the analytical, numerical, and visual aspects of mathematical modeling, as well as the approximations and abstractions needed for the creation of a viable model.

《數學建模入門》幫助學生掌握科學家和工程師用於模擬現實世界問題的過程，包括太空探索、氣候變化、能源可持續性、混沌動力系統和隨機過程所帶來的挑戰。

本書主要針對具備微積分基礎但在計算機編程方面訓練有限的學生，提供第一門建模課程所需的知識。書中更高級的主題也對於高年級本科生和研究生有用，他們希望掌握數學建模的分析、數值和視覺方面，以及創建可行模型所需的近似和抽象技巧。
