Mathematica Which English-Language Books on Mathematical Modeling Are Recommended?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around recommendations for English-language books on mathematical modeling, particularly for those interested in general theory and the simulation of physical processes. Participants express a desire to find equivalent English texts to Russian works, specifically mentioning P.V. Trusov's "Introduction to Mathematical Modeling," which covers classifications of mathematical models and stages of model preparation. Mark M. Meerschaert's book, "Mathematical Modeling," is suggested as a suitable English alternative, with some users affirming its quality based on their experience with specific chapters related to computational methods and dynamic models. The conversation highlights the need for accessible resources in mathematical modeling that encompass both theory and practical applications.

Hello for All!
Please recommend English-language books on mathematical modeling. Interested in a general theory. In Russian I know these books, but I would like to get acquainted with English.
Thank you.

Perhaps you could cite the authors of the Russian books and we could check if there's English translations.

When you say mathematical modeling do you mean modeling a physical system like numerically solving the differential equations of motion of the system or something else?

Here's one I used in a computational physics course:

It's available on amazon.com
 
Yes, I mean the simulation of physical processes of varying complexity.
Well, general information about the classification of mathematical models, if there is one.
 
For example.
I have Russian-language book "Introdution in math modeling" of P.V. Trusov. It contains classification of math model (numeric, abstract, etc) and common stage of prepare math model.

We have equal book in English-language?

I think that https://www.amazon.com/dp/0123869129/?tag=pfamazon01-20 by Mark M. Meerschaert should do fine.

I have read partially some chapters I needed (Computational Methods for Optimization and Dynamic Models) and I found it very good.
