Mathematical Modeling with Maple

With an innovative approach that leverages the power of the Maple computer algebra system as an analytical tool, MATHEMATICAL MODELING WITH MAPLE offers an effective introduction to mathematical modeling of compelling real world applications. Intended for students with a background in calculus, the text shows how to formulate, build, solve, analyze, and critique models of applications in math, engineering, computer science, business, and the physical and life sciences. The book utilizes Maple for computations, plotting results graphically, and dynamically analyzing results within the modeling process. Easy-to-follow software instructions are provided, and Maple syntax in the book is also offered online as Maple workbooks allowing students to quickly and interactively work problems as they read. MATHEMATICAL MODELING WITH MAPLE helps students develop their analytical skills while harnessing the power of cutting-edge modern technology, allowing them to become competent, confident problem solvers for the 21st century.
