Physics and Applied Mathematics

Topics in Mathematical Modeling is an introductory textbook on mathematical modeling. The book teaches how simple mathematics can help formulate and solve real problems of current research interest in a wide range of fields, including biology, ecology, computer science, geophysics, engineering, and the social sciences.

This book details the interdisciplinary nature of mathematical modeling and numerical algorithms. It covers topics such as partial differential equations, fractional calculus, inverse problems by ODEs, semigroups, decision theory, risk analysis, Bayesian estimation, nonlinear PDEs in financial engineering, perturbation analysis, dynamic system modeling, and much more.
