Mathematical Methods, Models and Modelling Book A: 1

Solve real problems by finding out how they are transformed into mathematical models and learn the methods of solution. This book covers classical mechanical models as well as some non-mechanical models such as population dynamics; also methods including differential equations and Vector algebra. To understand this book you will need a sound knowledge of mathematics. Unit 1: first and second order differential equations, including Inhomogeneous and Homogeneous Second-order differential equations. Unit 2: Vector algebra and statics including Scalars, Cartesian components and modelling forces. Unit 3: Dynamics, including describing and predicting motion
