UPDATED CASE STUDIES ADDRESS CURRENT TOPICS TO ENGAGE READERS. One new case featuring nonlinear models discusses recent trends in college enrollment, while another case focused on matrix algebra highlights social network analysis. Yet another new case examines techniques of differentiation, applying logistic functions and their derivatives to obtain a surprisingly accurate model of the first three waves of the COVID-19 pandemic in the U.S.
