This up-to-date treatment stresses dynamics rather than statics, nonlinearity rather than linearity, and possibility rather than optimality. A thoroughly mode account of the theory and practice of mathematical modeling, treatment focuses on system-theoretic concepts such as complexity, self-organization, adaptation, bifurcation, resilience, surprise and uncertainty, and the mathematical structures needed to employ these in a formal system. Applications are drawn mainly from the social, behavioral, and life sciences, rather than the physical sciences. Includes extensive problem sets and discussion questions.

Cambridge University Press, 2005. - 220 pages. Mathematical models in the social sciences have become increasingly sophisticated and widespread in the last decade. This period has also seen many critiques, most lamenting the sacrifices incurred in pursuit of mathematical perfection. If, as critics argue, our ability to understand the world has not improved during the mathematization of the social sciences, we might want to adopt a different para...

Society for Industrial Applied Mathematics, 1987. - 402 pages. Mathematics is a grand subject in the way it can be applied to various problems in science and engineering. To use mathematics, one needs to understand the physical context. The author uses mathematical techniques along with observations and experiments to give an in-depth look at models for mechanical vibrations, population dynamics, and traffic flow. Equal emphasis is placed on the...

Paper - 2003 The majority of computational methods applied for the analysis of homogeneous Markov reward models (MRMs) are not applicable for the analysis of inhomogeneous MRMs. By the nature of inhomogeneous models, only forward differential equations can be used to describe the model behaviour. In this paper we provide forward partial differential equations describing the distribution of reward measures of inhomogeneous MRMs. Based on this des...
