Mathematics and Technology (eBook, PDF)

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.
