Applied Mathematics: A Very Short Introduction

Author: Alain Goriely ISBN: 9780198754046 Binding: paperback, small format Section: Math Mathematics is playing an increasingly important role in society and the sciences, enhancing our ability to use models and handle data. While pure mathematics is mostly interested in abstract structures, applied mathematics sits at the interface between this abstract world and the world in which we live. This area of mathematics takes its nourishment from society and science and, in turn, provides a unified way to understand problems arising in diverse fields.
