Mathematical Models in Epidemiology | Fred Brauer | Springer

https://www.springer.com/gp/book/9781493998265#

Check out this new book! There are exercises of varying degrees of difficulty, and projects leading to new research directions. For the benefit of public health professionals whose contact with mathematics may not be recent, there is an appendix covering the necessary mathematical background. There are indications which sections require a strong mathematical background so that the book can be useful for both mathematical modelers and public health professionals.

The book is a modern description of many important areas of mathematical epidemiology, with mathematical accuracy but not necessarily complete proofs, including fairly detailed descriptions of models for important communicable diseases, including diseases transmitted by vectors....

Introduction to the Foundations of Applied Mathematics | Mark Hayden Holmes | Springer

Check out this new edition from Mark Holmes! https://www.springer.com/gp/book/9783030242602

From the reviews of previous editions:

“This work by Holmes (RPI) is a thorough overview of classical analysis/differential equations-based applied mathematics (not statistics or discrete mathematics). … This is a wonderful, well-written book that should be in every academic library. Includes many examples, 126 references, and 221 exercises. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates, graduate students, researchers, and faculty.” (J. D. Fehribach, Choice, Vol. 47 (8), April, 2010)

“The goal of this book is to introduce the mathematical tools needed for analyzing and deriving mathematical models. … Holmes is able to integrate the theory with application in a very nice way providing an excellent book on applied mathematics. … One of the best features of the book is the abundant number of exercises found at the end of each chapter. … I think this is a great book, and I recommend it for scholarly purposes by students, teachers, and researchers.” (Joe Latulippe, The Mathematical Association of America, December, 2009)

“One of the primary objectives of the book is to use mathematics to derive a fundamental understanding of the derivation, analysis and interpretation of mathematical models. … The book contains a wide spectrum of exercises and detailed illustrations. It addresses students and researchers interested in mathematical modeling in physics, engineering and applied sciences. It can also be recommended as a textbook at the graduate student level.”­­­ (Iuliana Oprea, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2011 c)

“Holmes’s text … should be accessible to both mathematicians and science and engineering audiences at the senior or beginning graduate level. … it establishes the tools of applied mathematics and the underlying concepts of model development independent of a specific application. … I strongly recommend this book for an introductory senior or graduate level course in applied mathematics.” (J. David Logan, SIAM Review, Vol. 52 (1), 2010)

This book is an introduction to advanced mathematical methods, presented in an applied setting, that makes the material accessible to upper undergraduates. A Comprehensive development of tools and analysis for mathematical modeling and exercises from real world applications are included. ...

In August, three physicists emailed the eminent mathematician Terry Tao with an equation that they had stumbled upon in their research. “Something this short and simple — it should have been in textbooks already,” said Tao. “So my first thought was, no, this can’t be true.” Within two hours, Tao had come up with three independent proofs of the identity.

Tropical Intraseasonal Variability and the Stochastic Skeleton Method | Andrew J. Majda | Springer

One of the strengths of this text is demonstrating how a blend of modern applied mathematical tools, including linear and nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs), simple stochastic modeling, and numerical algorithms, have been used in conjunction with physical insight to create the model. These tools are also applied in developing several extensions of the model in order to capture additional features of the MJO, including its refined vertical structure and its interactions with the extratropics.
https://www.springer.com/gp/book/9783030222468#

In this Book, modern applied mathematics and physical insight are used to construct the simplest and first nonlinear dynamical model for the MJO, the stochastic skeleton model. This model captures the fundamental features of the MJO and offers a theoretical prediction of the MJO’s structure....
