Publisher Synopsis
From the book reviews:"This book is a translation of the German text ... by D. M. Imboden and S. Koch. It was developed on the basis of lecture notes for the course in Systems Analysis taught at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) Zurich for over twelve years and has been tested in the classroom many times. ... Warmly recommended as a concise but comprehensive introduction to mathematical modeling." (Svitlana P. Rogovchenko, zbMATH, Vol. 1302, 2015)"Imboden and Pfenninger have written a marvelous book that explores detailed systems analysis for a large variety of systems. The book gives a gentle introduction to one-parameter systems with a simple lake model. ... this book is an excellent overview of systems analysis with varied examples and detailed explanations. It is worth having in your library." (David S. Mazel, MAA Reviews, February, 2014) Read more...
