This textbook is a pleasant surprise. It is an excellent introduction to multivariate analysis, much better than I have encountered elsewhere. As the title indicates, the examples are geological such as analysis of spatial distribution of geological features, geochemical analysis, sediment transportation problems, paleontological sampling issues, stratigraphic sequence comparisons, fluvial pattern analysis, etc.Davis provides a chapter on matrix algebra, emphasizing the mathematical operations that underlie trend surface analysis, principal components, and discriminant functions. I found his geometric approach to eigenvalues and eigenvectors to be more intuitive than traditional algebraic approaches found in most linear algebra...
