Klappentext

This book continues the ICTMA tradition of influencing teaching and learning in the application of mathematical modelling. Each chapter shows how real life problems can be discussed during university lectures, in school classrooms and industrial research. International experts contribute their knowledge and experience by providing analysis, insight and comment whilst tackling large and complex problems by applying mathematical modeling. This book covers the proceedings from the Twelfth International Conference on the Teaching of Mathematical Modelling and Applications.
