39,52 €In this book we describe the magic world of mathematical models: starting from real-life problems, we formulate them in terms of equations, transform equations into algorithms and algorithms into programs to be executed on computers.
A broad variety of examples and exercises illustrate that properly designed models can, e.g.: predict the way the number of dolphins in the Aeolian Sea will change as food availability and fishing activity vary; describe the blood flow in a capillary network; calculate the PageRank of websites.
This book also includes a chapter with an elementary introduction to Octave, an open-source programming language widely used in the scientific community. Octave functions and scripts for dealing with the problems presented in the text can be downloaded from https://paola-gervasio.unibs.it/quarteroni-gervasio
This book is addressed to any student interested in learning how to construct and apply mathematical models.
Features
• Addresses real-life problems and their solutions using mathematical and numerical models
• A gym for interdisciplinary skills (mathematics, physics, life sciences, computer science)
• Discusses programming in Octave
