Michael Mesterton-Gibbons Knihy

An engrossing, how-to book designed to pique students' interest in the process of modelling in order to acquire both critical and creative modelling skills and the confidence to apply them. The author uses exercises, case studies and models, based on scientific literature, that are freely adaptable and presented in a fresh perspective as interlocking fragments of a mosaic. Examples are chosen from population dynamics, heat flow, optimal harvesting, traffic management and other areas that use models. Includes material for model builders.
