Review

'The words 'applied mathematics' decorate the covers of many books these days, but precious little of the practice of applied mathematics seeps through into the pages bound between those covers. Of the select few that do indeed introduce the reader to applied mathematics, this book may well be the best. I know of none better.' Paul Davis, American Mathematical Monthly
