Fundamentals of scientific mathematics.

By: Material type: TextLanguage: English Publication details: New York Harper & Row 1961Description: x, 274 p. : ill. cm. Includes bibliographical references and indexSubject(s): Other classification:
  • B K1/SC
Summary: 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. This would make a very useful book for a mathematician/physicist/chemist/engineer to read before starting a degree. 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.
