Systems and their mathematical description play an important role in
all branches of science. This book offers an introduction to
mathematical modeling techniques. It is intended for undergrad
students in applied natural science, in particular earth and
environmental science, environmental engineering, as well as ecology,
environmental chemistry, chemical engineering, agronomy, and forestry.
The focus is on developing the basic methods of modeling. Students
will learn how to build mathematical models of their own, but also how
to analyze the properties of existing models. The book neither derives
mathematical formulae, nor does it describe modeling software, instead
focusing on the fundamental concepts behind mathematical models. A
formulary in the appendix summarizes the necessary mathematical
knowledge. To support independent learners, numerous examples and
problems from various scientific disciplines are provided throughout
the book. Thanks in no small part to the cartoons by Nikolas
Stürchler, this introduction to the colorful world of modeling is
both entertaining and rich in content
