To address this need, this volume provides beginning students who have already had some exposure to calculus with specific research projects and the tools required to tackle them. Chapters are self-contained, presenting projects students can pursue, along with essential background material and suggestions for further reading. In addition to calculus, some of the later chapters require prerequisites such as linear algebra and statistics. Suggested prerequisites are noted at the beginning of each chapter. Some topics covered include:\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003elattice walks in the plane\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003estatistical modeling of survival data\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ebuilding blocks and geometry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emodeling of weather and climate change\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emathematics of risk and insurance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eMathematics Research for the Beginning Student, Volume 2\u003c\/i\u003e will appeal to undergraduate students at two- and four-year colleges who are interested in pursuing mathematics research projects. Faculty members interested in serving as advisors to these students will find ideas and guidance as well. This volume will also be of interest to advanced high school students interested in exploring mathematics research for the first time. A separate volume with research projects for students who have not yet studied calculus is also available.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Birkhäuser\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2022-11-18\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783031085635\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-031-08564-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 308\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46547969540236,"sku":"9783031085635","price":58.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783031085635.jpg?v=1776007734","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783031085635","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
