Introduction to Mathematical Modeling and Computer Simulations

Introduction to Mathematical Modeling and Computer Simulations, Second Edition continues to serve as an engaging and accessible textbook for undergraduates studying mathematical modeling and computer simulations. The book is heavily focussed on applications, and so may have a particular appeal to applied mathematicians, engineers, and others working in applied quantitative disciplines. The book may also be useful as a reference text for reference text for early-career stage practitioners.

New to this Edition: A new chapter on Machine Learning and Data Analysis in order to account for recent developments in the field. Chapter 9, ‘Asymptotic Methods in Composites’, has been entirely re-written to make it more consistent with industry and scientific standards. Includes an elementary introduction to programming in Python language. The Jupyter notebooks with examples for Chapter 10 and Appendix A are available for a download from www.Routledge.com/9781032661513.
