Martin Walter is a professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Dr. Walter is a Sloan, Woodrow Wilson, and National Science Foundation Fellow as well as a member of the American Mathematical Society and Mathematical Association of America. He has lectured or taught in various countries, including Japan, China, Poland, Romania, Australia, Belgium, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, England, Germany, India, Italy, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Canada, and Brazil.

The book can be recommended to all those readers who are interested in applied mathematics as well as to those who do not think of themselves as mathematicians yet being interested in laws and relationships in which mathematics may be a helpful tool.—Herbert S. Buscher, Zentralblatt MATH 1211The book is heavily referenced … there are many detailed exercises designed to highlight how mathematics can be used to explain natural phenomena and human behavior and its consequences. … this book could serve as a text for courses in applied mathematics and a resource for study material in many other subject areas …—MAA Reviews, July 2011"Recently I purchased Mathematics for the Environment and find it to be one of the most fascinating and comprehensive that I have ever encountered. Next semester I will be teaching a class on mathematical modeling for seniors in our department, and intend to use (with attribution of course) some of the examples and questions. Never have I seen such an eclectic set of topics in a single volume. Basically I am writing to thank you for it, and to say ‘Bravo’!"—John A. Adam, Ph.D., University Professor and Professor of Mathematics Department of Mathematics & Statistics Engineering & Computational Sciences Building Old Dominion University, Norfolk, Virginia, USA
