Fundamental concepts of mathematical modeling
Modeling is one of the most effective, commonly used tools inengineering and the applied sciences. In this book, the authorsdeal with mathematical programming models both linear and nonlinearand across a wide range of practical applications.
Whereas other books concentrate on standard methods of analysis,the authors focus on the power of modeling methods for solvingpractical problems-clearly showing the connection between physicaland mathematical realities-while also describing and exploring themain concepts and tools at work. This highly computational coverageincludes:
* Discussion and implementation of the GAMS programmingsystem
* Unique coverage of compatibility
* Illustrative examples that showcase the connection between modeland reality
* Practical problems covering a wide range of scientificdisciplines, as well as hundreds of examples and end-of-chapterexercises
* Real-world applications to probability and statistics, electricalengineering, transportation systems, and more
Building and Solving Mathematical Programming Models in Engineeringand Science is practically suited for use as a professionalreference for mathematicians, engineers, and applied or industrialscientists, while also tutorial and illustrative enough foradvanced students in mathematics or engineering.
