Editorial Reviews
Review
This book goes a long way toward answering and motivating students who wish to use mathematics to do something outside of mathematics before they undertake the more difficult task of understanding the discipline….these projects can provide excellent opportunities for extra work and can serve as a focus for mathematics and science club meetings.
