| Summary, etc. | For a book that was originally written in 1961, this book is surprisingly modern. The very clear treatment of matrices and vectors in a scientific mathematics context, then linking their use to elementary calculus, as well as to cylindrical and spherical coordinate systems is excellent.<br/><br/>This would make a very useful book for a mathematician/physicist/chemist/engineer to read before starting a degree.<br/><br/>George Owen also wrote another very good book at a slightly higher math level called The Universe of the Mind. The two books would go well together.<br/> |
