Featuring a new core set of 25 fully worked-out problems, this book uses real problems in environmental science rather than relying on the more traditional \"cookbook\" problems found in textbooks. It is organized according to five thematic sections on probability, optimization, scaling, differential equations, and stability \u0026amp; feedback. Each section begins with a general treatment of the relevant mathematical concepts, and concludes with a range of homework exercises to help students sharpen their modeling skills. Like its predecessor, this book will empower students with the mathematical skills needed to cut through the complexity of real-world problems.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Harte\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1891389173\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781891389177\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Science Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 211\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.03lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.22h x 7.38w x 0.58d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eScitech Book News\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2001 pg. 7","brand":"John Harte","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48448013009151,"sku":"9781891389177","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6430b687-eb26-4e7c-a589-0d3410287a6a.jpg?v=1777236308","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/consider-a-cylindrical-cow-john-harte-9781891389177","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
