This title in the Classics In Applied Mathematics series uses mathematical techniques, observations, and experiments to look at models for mechanical vibrations, population dynamics, and traffic flow. The author emphasizes the nonlinear aspects of ordinary differential equations and develops the concept of equilibrium solutions in the sections on mechanical vibrations and population dynamics. He also develops the method of characteristics to analyze the nonlinear partial differential equations that describe traffic flow. The book is designed as an introduction to applied mathematics, but can also be used in undergraduate courses in mathematical modeling or nonlinear dynamical systems.
