Are you a mathematician? If you are, then this book is for you. Editors Mark R. Dennis, Paul Glendinning, Paul A. Martin, Fadil Santosa and Jared Tanner, have edited, managed and written an outstanding book, along with over 163 authors/contributors, that increasingly make use of algorithms and computation; as well as, a number of aspects that interface with computer science.<br><br>The authors and editors begin by discussing what applied mathematics is and giving examples of the use of applied mathematics in every day life. Next, they focus on specific concepts that cut across different models and areas. Then, the authors and editors describe numerous examples with regards to equations, laws, and functions of applied mathematics. Also, they give an overview of applied mathematics areas and how they are organized and arranged by research area. Then, the authors and editors present a selection of mathematical models; and, explain how they are derived and solved. In addition, they cover a variety of interesting applied mathematics problems. Also, the authors and editors focus on connections between applied mathematics and other disciplines, including such diverse topics as integrated circuit (chip) design, medical imaging, and the screening of luggage in airports. Finally, they provide a summary of the book’s approach on the broader aspects of reading, writing and typesetting mathematics; teaching applied mathematics; and, how to influence government as a mathematician.<br><br>This excellent book is about applied mathematics, why it is important, its connections to other disciplines, and some of the main areas of current research. This great book also explains what applied mathematicians do; which includes not only studying the subject itself, but also writing about mathematics, teaching it, and influencing policy makers.
