Summary: The emphasis of this book lies on the teaching of
mathematical modeling rather than simply presenting models. To
this end the book starts with the simple discrete exponential
growth model as a building block, and successively refines it.
This involves adding variable growth rates, multiple variables,
fitting growth rates to data, including random elements, testing
exactness of fit, using computer simulations and moving to a
continuous setting. No advanced knowledge i ...show mores
