Summary

This book shows how modern Applied Mathematics influences everyday life. It features contributors from universities, research institutions and industry, who combine research and review papers to present a survey of current research. More than 20 contributions are divided into scales: nano, micro, macro, space and real life. In addition, coverage includes engaging and informative case studies as well as complex graphics and illustrations, many of them in color.
