Building and Solving Mathematical Programming Models in Engineering and Science / Wiley Series in Pure and Applied Mathematics (PDF)

Fundamental concepts of mathematical modeling

Modeling is one of the most effective, commonly used tools in
engineering and the applied sciences. In this book, the authors
deal with mathematical programming models both linear and nonlinear
and across a wide range of practical applications.

Whereas other books concentrate on standard methods of analysis,
the authors focus on the power of modeling methods for solving
practical problems-clearly showing the connection between physical
and mathematical realities-while also describing and exploring the
main concepts and tools at work. This highly computational coverage
includes:

* Discussion and implementation of the GAMS programming
system

* Unique coverage of compatibility

* Illustrative examples that showcase the connection between model
and reality

* Practical problems covering a wide range of scientific
disciplines, as well as hundreds of examples and end-of-chapter
exercises

* Real-world applications to probability and statistics, electrical
engineering, transportation systems, and more

Building and Solving Mathematical Programming Models in Engineering
and Science is practically suited for use as a professional
reference for mathematicians, engineers, and applied or industrial
scientists, while also tutorial and illustrative enough for
advanced students in mathematics or engineering.
