This text helps students learn that model building is a dynamic process involving simplification, approximation, abstraction, analysis, computation, and comparison. Students begin the process of model building with a consideration of phenomena arising in another academic area or in the real world UR - http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0534384781/chopaconline-20 ER -
