In the book, the relationship between affect and modeling is discussed because, as educational psychologists have suggested for decades, affect directly influences achievement. Moreover, given the importance of mathematical modeling and the applications to high level mathematics, it provides the field of mathematics psychology with insight regarding affect, in relation to mathematical modeling. By doing so it helps determine the degree to which understanding of mathematics and understanding affect in mathematical modeling episodes may have a direct effect on cognition.

This book: Discusses these affective components relevant to mathematical learning experiences. Shares how affective components impact students' creative processes and products.
The emphasis of this book lies in the teaching of mathematical modeling rather than simply presenting models. To this end the book starts with the simple discrete exponential growth model as a building block, and successively refines it.
This text concentrates on a relatively small number of models to allow students to study them critically and in depth, and balances practice and theory in its approach.
This volume celebrates the eightieth birthday of the famous applied mathematician Joseph B. Keller.
This text demonstrates the broadness of this field as the authors consider the principles of model construction and use common approaches to build models from a range of subject areas.
