Mathematics and Technology

From the reviews:

"Christiane Rousseau and Yvan Saint-Aubin here present a valuable collection of diverse and detailed applied mathematics examples. … presented to work as a standalone guide to mathematics at work today, usable for self-study and enlightenment or as a text for coursework. … Chapters conclude with a rich collection of exercises followed by references for further study. … together with the clear signposts to help students get around and through the more difficult topics, make Mathematics and Technology suitable for any diligent reader … ." (Tom Schulte, MAA Online, February, 2009)

"This book takes a more detailed view of mathematics in action, in several areas of technology … . This is an excellent book for a varied audience. … This book will also be attractive to college students … and to researchers in mathematics, computer science (CS), and technology, who want to acquire a more thorough understanding of the applications covered in the book. … the authors give several pointers and suggestions to instructors. … I like this book and I recommend it." (Edgar R. Chavez, ACM Computing Reviews, June, 2009)

“The authors highlight how mathematical modeling, together with the power of mathematical tools, has been crucial for innovation in technology. … The text is written for students who have a familiarity with Euclidean geometry and have mastered multivariable calculus, linear algebra, and elementary probability theory. … undergraduates in their junior or senior years are the ideal audience for the course.” (Tzvetan Semerdjiev, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1211, 2011)
