Reviews
There is an excellent balance of theory and application. Furthermore, most of the theoretical concepts covered in the textbook are essential for gaining facility in basic mathematical modelling. The book contains a high number of practice exercises. These extensive exercise sets give diverse opportunities to practice and deepen comprehension. The reviewer warmly recommends this book for consideration as a textbook for a course on calculus and/or mathematical modeling. * Teodora-Liliana Radulescu, Zentralblatt MATH *
The two standout features of Mathematical Modelling and Applied Calculus are its synthesized approach to mathematical modelling and calculus and its use of real-world data ... There is an excellent balance of theory and application. Furthermore, most of the theoretical concepts covered in the textbook are those that are essential for gaining facility in basic mathematical modelling ... I definitely recommend this book for consideration as a textbook for a course on calculus and/or mathematical modelling for students majoring in life or social science disciplines. * Jason M.
