Beschreibung

This book introduces the student to numerous modern applications of mathematics in technology. The authors write with clarity and present the mathematics in a clear and straightforward way making it an interesting and easy book to read. Numerous exercises at the end of every section provide practice and reinforce the material in the chapter. An engaging quality of this book is that the authors also present the mathematical material in a historical context and not just the practical one.

This book is intended for undergraduate students in mathematics and preservice secondary school teachers. Additionally, its lack of calculus centricity and a clear indication of more difficult topics and relatively advanced references make it suitable for any curious individual with a decent command of high school math.

Über den Autor

Rousseau and Saint-Aubin sont professeurs au Département de mathématiques et de statistique de l'Université de Montréal. Leur manuscrit introduit de nombreux concepts mathématiques élégants dans le cadre d'applications technologiques réelles, pour la plupart modernes. Lisa Goldberg et Jonathan Borwein nous ont transmis des rapports impressionnants de ce livre. Ce texte, unique en son genre, est un candidat idéal pour lancer la série Springer Undergraduate Series in Mathematics in Technology. On s'attend à ce que le livre soit adopté au Canada, en Belgique, à Toulouse (France). Le livre sera également publié en anglais, puis, en allemand par la filiale Springer Heidelberg.
