Mer om författaren

Dr. James Peterson is an Associate Professor in Mathematical Sciences and Biological Sciences at Clemson University, USA. His formal training is in mathematics but he has worked as an aerospace engineer and a software engineer also. He enjoys working on very hard problems that require multiple disciplines to make sense out of and he reads, studies and plays in cutting edge areas a lot as part of his interests.

Recensioner i media

“The introductory remarks in this book address the concern that many presentations of mathematics focus so heavily on traditional content that the usefulness of mathematics in other fields can be overlooked. … the approach is both demanding and thorough, but the brief exercise sets remain focused on providing opportunities for straightforward practice of the principles at hand. … Summing Up: Recommended. Lower- and upper-division undergraduates.” (N. W. Schillow, Choice, Vol. 54 (4), December, 2016)
