Review Quotes:
From the reviews:
"Vladimir Zorich has written a short and mathematically advanced text on the natural sciences as seen through mathematics. ... The text touches on many ideas: the dimension of a television signal, the molecular theory of matter, transmission line capacity, to name a few. ... if you want to see how mathematics is intertwined in nature and physics, how mathematics describes and explains our world, then this book paints that picture." (David S. Mazel, The Mathematical Association of America, August, 2011)
