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.
Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
The authors present elegant mathematical concepts such as Markov chains, function iteration and simple groups, and develop these concepts, applying them to important practical problems such as web-navigation, data compression and error correcting codes.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Of what use is mathematics Hasn't everything in mathematics already been disc- ered Thesearenaturalquestionsoftenaskedbyundergraduates. Theanswersprovided by their professors are often quite brief. Most university courses, pressed for time and rigidly structured, o er little opportunity to present and study actual applications and real-world examples. Evenmorehigh-schoolstudentsaskthesamequestionswithmoreinsisten ce. Tea- ers in these schools generally work under even tighter constraints than university prof- sors. If they are able to competently respond to these questions it is probably because they received good answers from their teachers and professors. And if they do not have the answers, then whose fault is it The genesis of this text It is impossible to introduce this text without rst discussing the course in which it originated. The course 'Mathematics and Technology' was created at the Universit e de Montr eal and taught for the rst time in the winter semester of 2001. It was created after observing that most courses in the department neglect to present real applications. Sinceitscreationthecoursehasbeenopentobothundergraduatemathematicsstudents and future high-school teachers. Since no appropriate text or manual for the course we envisioned existed, we were led to write our own course notes, from which we taught. We got so caught up in writing these notes that they quickly grew to the size of a textbook, containing much more material than could possibly be taught in one semester. Despite the two of us being career mathematicians, we must admit that we both knew little or nothing about most of the applications presented in the following chapters.
