'This book could serve either as a good reference to remind students about what they have seen in their completed courses or as a starting point to show what needs more investigation. Svozil (Vienna Univ. of Technology) offers a very thorough text that leaves no mathematical area out, but it is best described as giving a synopsis of each application and how it relates to other areas … The text is organized well and provides a good reference list. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and graduate students.'

CHOICE
