OverviewIntended as a supplement to Giordano and Weir's A First Course in Mathematical Modelling, the text is also appropriate to be used alone. Modelling principles covered in the text include proportionality, model fitting and least squares, high and low order polynomial fitting, cubic splines, interpolation, dimensional analysis techniques, Monte Carlo simulation, empirical model construction and linear programming. In addition, there is a tearout reference guide for use at the computer, the highlighting of key commands at the beginning of each chapter and illustrations of actual computer worksheets. This book should be of interest to students taking a course on modelling techniques and problem-solving in departments where Minitab software is used; lecturers wishing to use their department's existing software to support their teaching of a wide range of mathematical modeling applications.
