Introduction to Mathematical Modeling Using Discrete Dynamical Systems

MATHEMATICAL MODELING USING DISCRETE DYNAMICAL SYSTEMS! This mathematics text introduces powerful mathematical modeling techniques while providing you with the tools you need to succeed. Exercises with answers, suggested computer projects with specific instructions for their completion, and the book-specific website are just a few of the tools that will help you master the material. Coverage of current research, such as dynamical systems, shows you that mathematics is a vibrant and evolving discipline.

This textbook introduces beginning and intermediate students of mathematics, the natural sciences, and the social sciences to some mathematical modeling techniques using discrete dynamical systems. Included are both traditional analytical techniques as well as some that rely on modern computer technology. Developed for an undergraduate course at Fordham U., the volume features numerous exercises at varying levels of difficulty as well as suggestions for computer projects with specific instructions for their completion.
