Features: The course of mathematical modeling bridges the gap between mathematics and its applications in various fields. This book introduces the principles of the modeling process, and through studying it, students will have the opportunity to practice in the following modeling activities, enhancing their problem-solving skills: designing creative models and empirical models, model analysis, and model research. Features of the book: · Demonstrates how discrete dynamic systems, discrete optimization, and simulation techniques promote the development of modern applied mathematics; · Emphasizes the enhancement of students' creativity through model design, showcasing the artistic aspects of model construction, including the ideas of empirical modeling and simulation modeling; · Combines mathematical modeling methods with more creative aspects such as diverse modeling and confidence establishment; · Integrates individual and group projects into the design of creative and empirical models, model analysis, and model research, and includes numerous examples and exercises; · The accompanying CD-ROM contains software, additional modeling scenarios and projects, as well as past mathematical modeling competition problems. This book aims to guide students in initially grasping the ideas and methods of mathematical modeling, divided into two main parts: discrete modeling and continuous modeling. It strives to present the mathematical knowledge used in an accessible manner, covering a wide range of application fields. It is suitable as a textbook and reference book for relevant majors in higher education institutions, as well as a guidebook for participating in domestic and international mathematical modeling competitions.
