This new edition of Mathematics for Dynamic Modeling updates a widely used and highly-respected textbook. The text is appropriate for upper-level undergraduate and graduate level courses in modeling, dynamical systems, differential equations, and linear multivariable systems offered in a variety of departments including mathematics, engineering, computer science, and economics. The text features many different realistic applications from a wide variety of disciplines.
The book covers important tools such as linearization, feedback concepts, the use of Liapunov functions, and optimal...

(Not for distribution) We all know what randomness is. We sometimes choose between options "at random," and if we toss a coin we know it will land heads or tails at random. But are events like these truly random? Randomness turns out to be one of those concepts, like "solid matter" in physics, that works just fine on an everyday level but mysteriously disappears once we move in to examine its fine structure. In this fascinating book, mathematician Ed Beltrami takes a close enough look at randomness to make it mysteriously disappear. The results of coin tosses, it turns out, are determined...

This book is a layperson's introduction to the mathematics of chance but with just a little of the math. The idea is to help the reader untangle the plethora of often misleading data and sometimes dubious claims that appear in the world of politics, finance, medicine and public health, sports, criminal trials, and the like. It is relevant to current events with many quotes from newspaper articles. This is not a textbook, and no special requirements are assumed on the part of the reader other than an interest in public affairs, curiosity about how to interpret the many statements that he or...

Mathematical Modeling for Society and Biology engagingly relates mathematics to compelling real-life problems in biology and contemporary society. It shows how mathematical tools can be used to gain insight into these modern, common problems to provide effective, real solutions.

Beltrami's creative, non-threatening approach draws on a wealth of interesting examples pertaining to current social and biological issues. Central ideas appear again in different contexts throughout the book, showing the general unity of the modeling process. The models are strikingly novel and based on...

Mathematical Models for Society and Biology, 2e, is a useful resource for researchers, graduate students, and post-docs in the applied mathematics and life science fields. Mathematical modeling is one of the major subfields of mathematical biology. A mathematical model may be used to help explain a system, to study the effects of different components, and to make predictions about behavior.

Mathematical Models for Society and Biology, 2e, draws on current issues to engagingly relate how to use mathematics to gain insight into problems in biology and contemporary...

Vor dreissig Jahren traf ein kleines Bandchen von John Kemeny und Laury Snell -, Mathematische Modelle in den Sozialwissenschaften- den Geschmack vieler Leser, weil es neue Anwendungen der Mathematik ausserhalb von Physik und Technik bot. Dieses Buch ist schon lange nicht mehr erhaltlich und erstaunlicherweise ist nichts Vergleichbares in der Zwischenzeit erschienen, um die Lucke zu schliessen. Das Buchlein, das Sie gerade lesen, ist ein neuer Text auf nicht zu hohem Niveau, der einige neuere Anwendungen mathematischer Me thoden auf faszinierende Fragen der Sozialwissenschaften und der Bio...
