In this book the reader will find several behavioral mathematical models, that in fact may be understood as the so-called epidemiological models in the sense that they deal with populations instead of individuals.

This book is organized as follows:

Part I contains engineering models with a broad variety of problems from water management, to combustion engine issues, or the Android malware infection propagation.

Part II is devoted to social mathematical models including social addictions such as plastic surgery or fitness activity, or modeling the interregional migration, Spanish religious behavior, for instance.

Part III is mainly addressed to the study some part of the modeling process, such as solving theoretical problems for constructing a model, or just to perform a better way to solve a previous mathematical model including the analysis of numerical aspects.

Part IV focuses its interest on mathematical models in medicine, including a bladder cancer model, diagnosis of cardiac allograft vasculopathy, or modeling patterns of functional dependency in schizophrenia.

Part V contains chapters where the main interest are finance, containing option pricing problems, the estimation of the cost of academic underachievement or modeling the composition of a portfolio to replicate a stock market index.
