Description: This first edition of Mathematical Modeling will help you learn the basics of how to effectively model real world situations with mathematics. This textbook is geared towards anyone who has had 2 - 3 years of high school mathematics, or a college level Precalculus class. The approach used in this textbook is first, the book covers what modeling is, and the things to consider when modeling a situation. From there, we proceed to cover how to model using change, then discrete sequences, then lines, exponents, and quadratics. We then conclude with a brief discussion of which model is the best in a situation and all of the different things to consider, as well as a brief coverage of advanced topics.Chapter List:Chapter 1: Modeling Preliminaries Chapter 2: Data CollectionChapter 3: Measuring ChangeChapter 4: Discrete Modeling with SequencesChapter 5: Linear ModelsChapter 6: Exponential ModelsChapter 7: Other Continuous ModelsChapter 8: Model SelectionChapter 9: Other Topics
