Applied Mathematical Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Approach

scholarly and thought provokingThe book is described as 'a handbook of in-depth case studies' and in this it undersells itselfover 600 pages of delighta nice mixture of mathematical rigour and scientific analoques and intuitionthe mathematical techniques are treated with just the right level of common-sense rigour that I associate with the best applied mathematics teachersthe treatments of some of more awkward topics such as bifurcations in ODEs and Greens functions, are some of the simplest and most transparent I have seenhundreds of worked examples and exercises. The Special Topics chapter is superbThere are countless references, and the book is literally a gold-mine.
