This book on elementary topics in mathematical modeling and data analysis has a specific focus on environmental applications.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is great that mathematics is finally taught as a tool to understand the challenges that the planet will be facing and to participate in the debate. The book aims at developing skills in mathematical modeling and data analysis, with a focus on the environment. The projects encourage active learning. A wonderful book!\"\" - Christiane Rousseau, Initiator of Mathematics of Planet Earth (MPE2013) and Professor of Mathematics, Universite de Montreal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"\"Using diverse examples with environmental science data, this text provides a lively review of high school math.
