Math Modeling: Computing and Communicating is written for high school and university students to get started with computation and math modeling, and for teachers who will assist students as they incorporate software into the math modeling process. It also serves as a resource for students participating in the MathWorks Math Modeling (M3) Challenge. The handbook is designed to take you from basic graphic calculator or spreadsheet experience to the next level, which includes programming basics, working with large data sets, and visualization techniques. This companion volume to Math Modeling: Getting Started and Getting Solutions (SIAM, 2014) takes you beyond the basic process of mathematical modeling to technical computing using software platforms and coding.
Topics include computations, statistics, visualization, programming, and simulation. Primary examples recur throughout the handbook to show multiple ways technology can help tackle the same problem, including examples using MATLAB. A separate section, Choosing Your Tech Tool, and an appendix that shares a collection of “best practices” when writing code offer more advice for readers.
