Mathematical Modeling For The Scientific Method (International Series in Mathematics)

Part of the International Series in Mathematics Mathematical Modeling for the Scientific Method is intended for the sophomore/junior-level student seeking to be well-grounded in mathematical modeling for their studies in biology, the physical sciences, engineering, and/or medicine. It clarifies the connection between deductive and inductive reasoning as used in Mathematics and Science and urges students to think critically about concepts and applications. The authors goal is to be introductory in level while covering a broad range of techniques. They unite topics in statistics, linear algebra, calculus, and differential equations, while discussing how these subjects are interrelated and utilized. Mathematical Modeling for the Scientific Method leaves students with a clearer perspective of the role of mathematics within the sciences and the understanding of how to rationally work through even rigorous applications with ease.
