"This book serves as a general introduction to the area of mathematical modelling. It attempts to present the important fundamental concepts of mathematical modelling and to demonstrate their use in solving certain scientific and engineering problems." "The text is aimed at advanced undergraduate and graduate students in mathematics or closely related engineering and science disciplines, e.g., students who have some prerequisite knowledge such as one-variable calculus, linear algebra and ordinary differential equations."--Jacket.
