Drawing from a wide variety of mathematical subjects, this book aims to show how mathematics is realised in practice in the everyday world. Dozens of applications are used to show that applied mathematics is much more than a series of academic calculations. Mathematical topics covered include distributions, ordinary and partial differential equations, and asymptotic methods as well as basics of modelling. The range of applications is similarly varied, from the modelling of hair to piano tuning, egg incubation and traffic flow. The style is informal but not superficial. In addition, the text is supplemented by a large number of exercises ... Read more

Reviews for Practical Applied Mathematics: Modelling, Analysis, Approximation
' … an entertainingly written book. The effective use of a large number of case studies, shows how mathematics can be used to help address serious real-world problems. this is demonstrated to such an extent that even the most sceptical engineer would have to concede that mathematics can be useful!' Mathematics Today 'Many exercises are the end of each chapter ... Read more
