But no book I've ever seen even comes close to the quality of this beautiful work by Edelstein-Keshet. So what is it that makes this book so special? First of all, the book is both accessible and self-contained. Just start at the beginning, and you're guaranteed to learn A LOT of math. Second, the ...             Matrix Analysis for Scientists and Engineers2 reviews Alan J. Laub SIAM: Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, 2004 A great review of Linear Algebra A good review of the main topics in linear algebra. Succinct and to the point. It is good as a reference, but if you are looking for an introduction, please read Strang's books on the topic.             A Multigrid Tutorial5 reviews William L. Briggs, Van Emden Henson, ... SIAM: Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, 2000 An Accessible Multigrid Introduction...No, Really, I Mean It Mathematicians who write well are a rare commodity. Briggs is one of them. He has the ability to break down complex numerics with understandable prose making concepts accessible to non-specialists. He operates under the rare assumption that his readers weren't born knowing this stuff. This multigrid primer written with Henson and McCormick is no exception. Expository discussions are lucid, ...             The Finite Element Method for Elliptic Problems (Classics in Applied Mathematics)2 reviews Philippe G. Ciarlet SIAM: Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, 2002 Bible of Finite Element Method The most exact ideas in FEM are stated here mathematically.             Ants, Bikes, and Clocks: Problem Solving for Undergraduates2 reviews William Briggs SIAM: Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, 2004 Challenging and fun applied math problems This is a wonderful collection of applied math problems from diverse sources used to illustrate the mathematical problem solving process. The beauty of this book is the liberal use of math problems of the applied variety such as the following: (Problem 6.26) Ants on a stick: One hundred ants are placed on a stick that is one meter in length. Each ant crawls to either the left or the right with ...             Time Series: Data Analysis and Theory (Classics in Applied Mathematics, 36) (Classics in Applied Mathematics)4 reviews David R. Brillinger SIAM: Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, 2001 good text from the expert on frequency domain time series Brillinger's book gives a thorough and advanced treatment of the frequency domain approach to time series analysis. It is more rigorous and advanced than Bloomfield but is not as easy to read and understand. It is the only text that I know of, to illustrate the power of the complex normal distribution as first suggested by N. Roy Goodman. Besides the interesting and rigorous treatment another ...             Applied Mathematical Models in Human Physiology (Monographs on Mathematical Modeling and Computation)1 review Johnny T. Ottesen, Mette S. Olufsen, ... SIAM: Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, 2004 Excellent synopsis of circulatory system models Good compact overview of literature for heart models, circulatory system models, detailed arterial models, pulmonary as well as baroreflex models. the authors focus primarily on their own work - but the literature review is good and the fact that its consolidated is very helpful.             Matrix Analysis and Applied Linear Algebra Book and Solutions Manual23 reviews Carl Meyer SIAM: Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, 2001 A Model of Authorship This book contains a comprehensive treatment on the topic of matrix analysis and applied linear algebra. The concepts are clearly introduced and developed. It is rich with detailed proofs that are easy to follow. Results are summarized and clearly grouped and marked for reference. As a researcher and a practitioner, I found this book quite useful in explaining mathematical concepts without the ...             Iterative Methods for Sparse Linear Systems, Second Edition3 reviews Yousef Saad Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, 2003 Great Book This is a great book for this subject. The book is easy to follow and Saad does a wonderful job of illustrating with examples. This is a great textbook or a book for reference. This book does a particularly good job with Krylov methods and does a reasonable job with preconditioning.             Nonlinear Systems Analysis (Classics in Applied Mathematics)4 reviews M. Vidyasagar SIAM: Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, 2002 Superb book for Nonlinear Systems Vid. is an excellent expositor. The material is presented rigourously, which might be standard for texts dealing with this subject, but also economically, which is not typical (read: Khalil). The most important distinction of this book however is that the author consistently explains the intuitions and motivation behind the theory (one example of many: what does a matrix norm mean "physically?"). ...             Initial-Boundary Problems and the Navier-Stokes Equation (Classics in Applied Mathematics)1 review Heinz-Otto Kreiss, Jens Lorenz SIAM: Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, 2004 Runge-Kutta method for Navier-Stokes Equation Solving the Compressible two dimensional NAvier-Stokes Equation using Fourth order Runge-Kutta method             Learning LaTeX11 reviews David F. Griffiths, Desmond J. Higham SIAM: Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, 1997 One of the best Latex resources I have tried reading a lot of online articles about learning Latex, and none of them was very helpful. After reading this book for 1 hour, I started creating my own document (which had a pressing deadline). Do buy this book if you are beginner in Latex: the treatment is lucid, helpful and easy-to-read. 95% needs of 90% Latex users will be served by the commands given in this small 60 page book. ...             Finite Difference Schemes and Partial Differential Equations1 review John Strikwerda SIAM: Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, 2004 One of the best books ever This book deals with the broad range of PDE problems with wonderful numerical algorithms. I was crushed on the 1st edition because it was really well-balanced (i.e.,just necessary math but full coverage of real world interests) and well-organized book. This book (the 2nd edition) includes more pictures and examples which help the reader to undersand the important concepts with ease. ...             The Mathematics of Computerized Tomography (Classics in Applied Mathematics)1 review Frank Natterer SIAM: Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, 2001 A must read for students of the Radon transform For the student of the Radon transform and its many applications, this book is a must. It's all here: the Radon transform in a multidimensional setting, the X-ray transform (a closely related transform), general theorems for the Fourier transform of the Radon transform, and theorems on the range of the Radon transform. The author also covers sampling theorems, ill-posed problems, orthogonal ...             Techniques of differential topology in relativity (Regional conference series in applied mathematics)1 review Roger Penrose Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, 1972 Still a useful overview First published in 1972, it is remarkable that this book is still in print, and this fact attests to the current interest in singularity theorems in general relativity. The author of course is well-known for his contributions in this area, and he has written these series of lectures primarily for the mathematician whose speciality is differential topology, and who is curious about its ...             Nonlinear Output Regulation: Theory and Applications (Advances in Design and Control)1 review Jie Huang SIAM: Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, 2004 Professional Book This book covers the whole research area of output regulation. It is really professional and clearly written. Its high qulity deserves our recommendation as a good reference of linear and nonlinear control theory.             Numerical Linear Algebra14 reviews Lloyd N. Trefethen, David Bau III SIAM: Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, 1997 Fantastic book, with great insight I can't speak to the entire book, as I've only made significant use of the section of matrix solvers. Having said that, his explanation of Krylov methods was the most clear and well organized I've ever seen. His book is the first I've seen that so nicely ties together all such methods. It's true that his book is probably not going to be enough if you are planning to focus on this as your research ...             Design and Analysis of Gauge R&R Studies: Making Decisions with Confidence Intervals in Random and Mixed ...1 review Richard K. Burdick, Connie M. Borror, ... Society for Industrial Applied Mathematics, 2005 Excellent reading for people interested in quantifying uncertainty in measurement The book is excellent reading for people interested in quantifying uncertainty in measurement. However it is important to understand that the publication deals with quantifying uncertainty in measurement due to the measurement system and NOT the device under test it self. This means that one should compare notes with the ISO publication regarding uncertainty in measurement (eg Type A and Type B). ...             Spline Models for Observational Data (CBMS-NSF Regional Conference Series in Applied Mathematics)1 review Grace Wahba SIAM: Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, 1990 nonparametric regression and smoothing is basically what splines are all about As a student of Manny Parzen at Stanford Grace Wahba worked in the area of reproducing kernel Hilbert Space and cubic spline smoothing. Basically splines are special flexible functions that can be used to fit regression functions to date without assuming a linear or fixed degree polynomial. It is the pasting together of local polynomial functions (e.g. cubic functions) where the polynomial ...             Asymptotic Approximation of Integrals (Classics in Applied Mathematics)1 review R.
