Applied Mathematics: A Very Short Introduction

Very Short Introductions

Applied mathematics plays a role in many different fields, especially the sciences and engineering. Goriely explains its nature and its relationship to pure mathematics, and through a variety of applications – such as mathematical modelling to predict the effects of climate change – he illustrates its power in tackling very practical problems.
