Excellent book in case studies
I am suprised that no one has reviewed this book- I have found it very useful to have on my bookshelf. The book is a summary of a time series forecasting competition that was held a few years ago. The competition used four different kinds of time series (for example, one data set was chaotic from measurements of a laser, and another was a multidimensional physiological times series of heart ...

The Nature of Mathematical Modeling

A great overview of Mathematical Modeling
Very readable and enjoyable book if you like Applied Mathematics. In addition to very broad but not shallow coverage of the various techniques used to model physical phenomena, the author provides *excellent* references for those who want to dig further. The Matlab code and computer techniques are an excellent addition. I agree with the previous reviewer, the book will become a classic.

This is not a how to book.

This was a very good read and is inspiring to those with imagination. Well, if you don't have imagination, you probably aren't going to do too well when microfabrication tech truely becomes much ...

Setting things straight
I read this book shortly after it was published and continue to refer to it often, particularly for its insight discussion about noise. I was shocked to see the overwhelming percentage of helpful votes for the June 1, 2001 review and feel compelled to set things straight: The author's derivation of E = mc**2, in which he includes the factor of \gamma, is absolutely correct. The previous ...
