Features: Mathematical Models in Economics, Ecology, and Environmental Science covers various famous models: classic models (such as the Cobb-Douglas production function model, Leontief input-output analysis, Verhulst-Pearl and Lotka-Volterra population models, and so on), world dynamics models, and water pollution spread models after the Chernobyl nuclear leak. This book adopts a unique block-by-block approach for model analysis, explaining how these models are built by describing individual parts (blocks) of basic real-world processes, providing theoretical insights into the design of practical models. The book specifically discusses hierarchical modeling of regional economic-ecological interactions under environmental impacts and technological change. It also addresses certain mathematical topics, such as discrete and continuous models, differential and integral equations, optimization and bifurcation analysis, and other related issues. The book is self-contained in content and suitable for beginners, with its excellent material making it suitable for graduate-level courses on mathematical modeling. It is suitable for graduate students,mathematical workers, and other researchers.
