With an innovative approach that leverages the power of the Maple® computer algebra system as an analytical tool, MATHEMATICAL MODELING WITH MAPLE, International Edition offers an effective introduction to mathematical modeling of compelling real world applications. Intended for students with a background in calculus, the text shows how to formulate, build, solve, analyze, and critique models of applications in math, engineering, computer science, business, and the physical and life sciences. The book utilizes Maple for computations, plotting results graphically, and dynamically analyzing results within the modeling process. Easy-to-follow software instructions are provided, and Maple syntax in the book is also offered online as Maple workbooks allowing students to quickly and interactively work problems as they read. MATHEMATICAL MODELING WITH MAPLE, International Edition helps students develop their analytical skills while harnessing the power of cutting-edge modern technology, allowing them to become competent, confident problem solvers for the 21st century.FeaturesFocuses on three core aspects of modeling: Creative and Empirical Modeling, Model Analysis, and Model Research. Students will learn a structured approach to constructing models, learn how to work backwards to analyze assumptions, and apply what they''ve learned to other scenarios.Careful introduction to Maple, intuitively exposing students to the syntax and graphing capabilities of the software in tandem with showing them its effectiveness in assisting the modeling process.Numerous exercises providing practice on mathematical concepts and applying techniques in Maple, Student Projects for group or individual work help students apply the modeling process in fully integrated fashion and synthesize the mathematical techniques they have learned.Flexible coverage allowing instructors to choose topics based on level, topic emphasis, and one- or two-semester sequences. Core chapters require only basic calculus, while later chapters requiring some multivariable calculus, linear algebra, and probability can be omitted without loss of continuity.
