N1  - 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 and sideline discussions, assisting the reader`s grasp of the material Used either in the classroom by upper-undergraduate students, or as extra reading for any applied mathematician, this book illustrates how the reader`s knowledge can be used to describe the world around them-BOOK JACKET.; Includes bibliographical references (p. 318-320) and index
