Mathematical Modeling and Simulation answers the most important questions in the field of modeling: What is a mathematical model? What types of model exist? Which model is appropriate for a particular problem?
It also explores topics such as simulation, parameter estimation, and validation and demonstrates how mathematical problems can be solved efficiently using professional open-source software.
Revised Reprint with Comprehensive Additions
The revised new edition contains around 150 pages of additional material, including crash courses on important programming languages such as R, Maxima and Python, a new chapter on virtualization, many new methods and examples, updated software-related procedures and a comprehensive book software that provides templates for typical modeling tasks.
The book will be published in October, but is available to pre-order now.
