xxvi, 248 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm. "Teaches the art of describing and simulating real-world systems using Python. Learn to model discrete systems, like a bike-sharing network, as well as first-order systems, like a coffee cup as it cools down, and second-order systems, like projectiles moving through space. Each chapter features hands-on examples and exercises"-- Modeling -- Bike share system -- Iteration -- Sweeping parameters -- World population -- Proportional growth -- Limits to growth -- Projecting population growth -- Analysis of population growth -- Case studies part 1 -- Epidemiology -- Modeling vaccination -- Sweeping parameters -- Nondimensionalization -- Cooling coffee -- Adding milk -- Pharmacokinetics -- Glucose and insulin -- Case studies part 2 -- Pennies -- Drag -- Baseball -- Optimization -- Rotation -- Torque -- Case studies part 3.
