Mathematics for the Environment

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Suitable for a general studies course on mathematics, this textbook deals with the mathematics of the environment. It presents the mathematics by building patterns in numbers, arithmetic, and algebra and by using axioms as building blocks. A truly interdisciplinary study of mathematics, the text explores examples in population models, DNA computing, epidemics, financial mathematics, and more. It encourages students to use Excel spreadsheets to solve many of the open-ended problems. Along with numerous references, the book contains an appendix of solutions.
