Title: Great book for the 21st century and beyond...
Review: This is truly a great math textbook, in fact it's the first that I've ever noticed _good_ things about while working through it, instead of bad things. Also interesting is seeing Dr Polking teach, while reading through the book (I go to Rice) - I've never before seen an author of a math text. This book has a good but not over-bearing connection to technology; the accompanying MATLAB manual delves deeper into that aspect. The problem sets are interesting, instead of just being "grunt-work" they require some real thinking, and go into applications such as physics, etc. Overall a good buy.
