'The presented case studies are almost self-contained and span an incredible breadth of applied science and engineering … a must for university libraries … I would … recommend the book to anyone who is excited by the power of mathematics in describing the word. It might even become a classic of the genre.' John McCloskey, The Times Higher Education Supplement
