Böcker av Frank C. Hoppensteadt

The result of lectures given by the authors at New York University, the University of Utah, and Michigan State University, the material is written for students who have had only one term of calculus, but it contains material that can be used in modeling courses in applied mathematics at all levels through early graduate courses.

This introduction to mathematical methods that are useful for studying population phenomena is intended for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, and will be accessible to scientists who do not have a strong mathematics background. Exercises illustrate material in the text and also deal with models more advanced than those derived and studied in the text.

Based on a course on advanced topics in differential equations given at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, this book describes aspects of mathematical modeling, analysis, computer simulation, and visualization in the mathematical sciences and engineering that involve singular perturbations.
