“By providing tools and current examples on modeling issues ... the book makes a contribution answering the becoming more and more prevalent presence of Mathematics in our daily lives. The examples come essentially from the physical and natural sciences, but the book can be relied on in other areas, including the humanities, aside seminal works on mathematical modeling ... . The journey consists in eight rigorous and enjoying chapters.” (Lisa Morhaim, zbMATH 1519.00001, 2023)
