Applied Mathematics: A Very Short Introduction Goriely Alain Professor of Mathematical Modelling Mathematical Institute University of Oxford Paperback
Mathematics is playing an increasingly important role in society and the sciences, enhancing our ability to use models and handle data. This area of mathematics takes its nourishment from society and science and, in turn, provides a unified way to understand problems arising in diverse fields.This Very Short Introduction presents a compact yet comprehensive view of the field of applied mathematics, and explores its relationships with (pure) mathematics, science, and engineering. While pure mathematics is mostly interested in abstract structures, applied mathematics sits at the interface between this abstract world and the world in which we live.
Using historical examples, current applications, Explaining the nature of applied mathematics, Alain Goriely discusses its early achievements in physics and engineering, and its development as a separate field after World War II.
