Problem Solving is essential to solve real-world problems. Advanced Problem Solving with Maple: A First Course applies the mathematical modeling process by formulating, building, solving, analyzing, and criticizing mathematical models. It is intended for a course introducing students to mathematical topics they will revisit within their further studies.
The authors present mathematical modeling and problem-solving topics using Maple as the computer algebra system for mathematical explorations, as well as obtaining plots that help readers perform analyses. The book presents cogent applications that demonstrate an effective use of Maple, provide discussions of the results obtained using Maple, and stimulate thought and analysis of additional applications.
Highlights:
- The book’s real-world case studies prepare the student for modeling applications
- Bridges the study of topics and applications to various fields of mathematics, science, and engineering
- Features a flexible format and tiered approach offers courses for students at various levels
- The book can be used for students with only algebra or calculus behind them
