Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is one of the best (if not the best) practical math books out there. It has a no-frills, "let's get down to business" feel and is not overly wordy. The author keeps each chapter short and focused, delivering digestible amounts of theory along with lots of fully worked examples. Unlike many technical authors,
MacCluer seems to fully appreciate that real learning occurs by induction. The problems at the end of the chapters are real gems: simply stated, sometimes challenging, and never pointless.
This book is evidently intended for senior math students bound for industry, but I also highly recommend it to grad students (like me) as well as practicing engineers.

This book provides a concise, single-sourcesurvey of all the mathematics most useful in industry today--particularly modeling and the unit $. Each chapter begins with a briefreview of some relevant mathematics; then introduces the industrialextension of this same material via typical real-world applications.The power of interweaving analytic with computing methods duringproblem solving is demonstrated throughout and MATLAB code isintegrated into the flow of the narrative.
