Offers an effective introduction to mathematical modeling of compelling real world applications. This title helps students develop their analytical skills while harnessing the power of technology, allowing them to become competent, confident problem solvers for the 21st century.
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.

William P. Fox is a professor in the Department of Defense Analysis at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, CA. Previously; he was an instructor, assistant professor, associate professor, and professor of operations research while serving in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at the United States Military Academy (USMA) for more than 12 years. He also served as the Chair of Mathematics at Francis Marion University for eight years before coming to the Naval Postgraduate School. Dr. Fox has taught a variety of mathematics courses in his career, and his areas of interest include mathematical modeling, optimization, statistics, and simulations. He holds his undergraduate degree from USMA, a master's degree from the Naval Postgraduate School, and a Ph.D. from Clemson University.
