Description
In this book mathematical techniques are combined with mathematical modelling, with applications to the physical, biological, social and management sciences, engineering and technology. Each chapter highlights a different technique, discusses its use in given situations, and gives a good sampling of practical examples. Special attention is given to applications of ordinary and partial differential equations and matrix equations.
