Description and Table of Contents
Description
Features
Introduces, defines, and illustrates the concept of "dynamic consistency" as the foundation of modeling
Can be used as the basis of an upper-level undergraduate course on general procedures for mathematical modeling using differential equations
Discusses the issue of dimensional analysis and continually demonstrates its value for both the construction and analysis of mathematical modeling.
