Focusing
on five main groups of interdisciplinary problems, this book covers a wide
range of topics in mathematical modeling, computational science and applied
mathematics. It presents a wealth of new results in the development of modeling
theories and methods, advancing diverse areas of applications and promoting
interdisciplinary interactions between mathematicians, scientists, engineers
and representatives from other disciplines.

The
book offers a valuable source of methods, ideas, and tools developed for a
variety of disciplines, including the natural and social sciences, medicine,
engineering, and technology. Original results are presented on both the
fundamental and applied level, accompanied by an ample number of real-world
problems and examples emphasizing the interdisciplinary nature and universality
of mathematical modeling, and providing an excellent outline of today’s
challenges. Mathematical modeling,
with applied and computational methods and tools, plays a fundamental role in
modern science and engineering. It provides a primary and ubiquitous tool in
the context making new discoveries, as well as in the development of new
theories and techniques for solving key problems arising in scientific and
engineering applications.

The
contributions, which are the product of two highly successful meetings
held jointly in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada on the main campus of Wilfrid Laurier
University in June 2015, i.e. the International Conference on Applied
Mathematics, Modeling and Computational Science, and the Annual Meeting of the
Canadian Applied and Industrial Mathematics (CAIMS), make the book a valuable resource for any reader interested
in a broader overview of the methods, ideas and tools involved in mathematical
and computational approaches developed for other disciplines, including the
natural and social sciences, engineering and technology.
