Overview
Unlike a traditional textbook, this book deals completely with Case Studies and Projects. The Case Studies and Projects involve Mathematical and Computational Methods from the three key areas of ODEs, PDEs and Optimization. The leading author, Dr Caldwell, has had extensive experience of Mathematical Modelling throughout his career in both university teaching and industry and was instructor for a team of three Hong Kong mathematics undergraduate students, one of which was Mr Ng, the second author, who won the first place award, Meritorious, in the 2000 Netease Cup China Undergraduate Mathematical Contest in Modelling (CUMCM). Mathematical Modelling is most effectively taught using a Case Study approach. An important aspect of the book is the use of scientific computer software packages such as MAPLE for symbolic algebraic manipulations, MATLAB for numerical simulation and LINDO for linear programming. The book will be useful for senior undergraduates/postgraduates using Mathematical Modelling as part of their Programmes in areas including Mathematics, Engineering, Science and Management Science. It will also prove helpful for Research students in these areas, Industrialists with Mo

Reviews
From the reviews: This textbook is intended for teaching students of mathematicians, science, engineering, business etc. at a last year undergraduate or postgraduate level. However, in (central) Europe much of the presented material can be used already for teaching first or second year undergraduates. The book is composed of three parts each consisting of two so-called case studies and three worked projects followed by ten problems left for the reader to carry out.
