Volume 4 Life Science Models Helen Marcus-Roberts and Maynard Thompson, Editors Volume 3 Discrete and System Models William F. Volume 2 Political and Related Models Steven J. Modules in Applied Mathematics Volume I Differential Equation Models Martin Braun, Courtney S. The 14 chapters in Volume 3 emphasize discrete mathematical methods such as those which arise in graph theory, combinatorics, and networks. Topics covered include voting systems, weighted voting, proportional representation, coalitional values, and committees.
The 14 chapters in Volume 2 are devoted mostly to problems arising in political science, but they also address questions appearing in sociology and ecology. Applications are taken from medicine, biology, traffic systems and several other fields. Volume 1 contains 23 chapters and deals with differential equations and, in the last four chapters, problems leading to partial differential equations. Some units can be covered in one class, whereas others provide sufficient material for a few weeks of class time. Illustrations and exercises are included in most chapters. Several of these chapters have been tested in a variety of classroom settings, and all have undergone extensive peer review and revision. Prerequisites for each chapter and suggestions for the teacher are provided. Although these independent chapters were prepared primarily for teachers in the general mathematical sciences, they should prove valuable to students, teachers, and research scientists in many of the fields of application as well. The goal is to provide illustrations of how modem mathematics is actually employed to solve relevant contemporary problems.
#INSTINCT PROGRAM 0.30C SERIES#
The purpose of this four volume series is to make available for college teachers and students samples of important and realistic applications of mathematics which can be covered in undergraduate programs.
