Sponsored by the organizing committee of International Conferences on the Teaching of Mathematical Modelling and Applications (ICTMA), this book contributes to teaching and learning mathematical modelling in universities throughout degree study, colleges of technology, teachers' training colleges, high schools and sixth form colleges. Contributing mathematicians reflect a modern and international interpretation of current knowledge and development. Philosophically they discuss innovation and assessment, and teaching and study, at all levels. The interdisciplinary nature of the topics reflects their use in such varied areas of application as mechanics and engineering medicine, patient flow in hospitals, computing science, traffic control, business studies, and mathematics (fractals and analysis), all pointing to a wide choice of future careers.

<p>Mathematical modelling is often spoken of as a way of life, referring to habits of mind and to dependence on the power of mathematics to describe, explain, predict and control real phenomena. This book aims to encourage teachers to provide opportunities for students to model a variety of real phenomena appropriately matched to students’ mathematical backgrounds and interests from early stages of mathematical education. Habits, misconceptions, and mindsets about mathematics can present obstacles to university students’ acceptance of a ‘‘models-and-modelling perspective’’ at this stage of mathematics education. Without prior experience in building, interpreting and applying mathematical models, many students may never come to view and regard modelling as a way of life. The book records presentations at the ICTMA 11 conference held in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 2003.</p>
