Title: Readable applied math.
Review: This is a fine compendium of math applied to a variety of real world problems. The only thing that bothers me is, where are the problems for the reader to try on his own?!I mean, a lot of people who are going to read this type of book like the challenge of solving a few problems on their own. The author provides scanty few problems to solve, but geez, even for those he doesn't provide the solutions?! - to me this is a cardinal sin when it comes to expository math books -sorry. So please, next time include a few problems for the reader "a la Martin Gardner"But it is otherwise a very fine book full of spoilers for us math puzzle freaks.
Is the review positive or negative?
