Mathematics & Applications
1 total work
Sponsored by the organizing committee of International Conferences on the Teaching of Mathematical Modelling and Applications (ICTMA), this book contributes to teaching and learning mathematical modelling in universities throughout degree study, colleges of technology, teachers' training colleges, high schools and sixth form colleges. Contributing mathematicians reflect a modern and international interpretation of current knowledge and development. Philosophically they discuss innovation and assessment, and teaching and study, at all levels. The interdisciplinary nature of the topics reflects their use in such varied areas of application as mechanics and engineering medicine, patient flow in hospitals, computing science, traffic control, business studies, and mathematics (fractals and analysis), all pointing to a wide choice of future careers.
