The must-have compendium on applied mathematics This is the most authoritative and accessible single-volume reference book on applied mathematics. Featuring numerous entries by leading experts and organized thematically, it introduces readers to applied mathematics and its uses; explains key concepts; describes important equations, laws, and functions; looks at exciting areas of research; covers modeling and simulation; explores areas of application; and more. Modeled on the popular Princeton Companion to Mathematics , this volume is an indispensable resource for undergraduate and graduate students, researchers, and practitioners in other disciplines seeking a user-friendly reference book on applied mathematics. Features nearly 200 entries organized thematically and written by an international team of distinguished contributors Presents the major ideas and branches of applied mathematics in a clear and accessible way Explains important mathematical concepts, methods, equations, and applications Introduces the language of applied mathematics and the goals of applied mathematical research Gives a wide range of examples of mathematical modeling Covers continuum mechanics, dynamical systems, numerical analysis, discrete and combinatorial mathematics, mathematical physics, and much more Explores the connections between applied mathematics and other disciplines Includes suggestions for further reading, cross-references, and a comprehensive index Review: Incredible anthology of applied math - I bought this book as a companion to the Companion to Pure Mathematics and have no regrets whatsoever. It has brought me nothing but joy and fascination so far, after reading several pages and skimming all across the book. Just perfect for a layman with a math undergrad degree who wants to sample diverse topics without risking exposure to the bad or poorly-curated writing one often finds on Wikipedia or Reddit. Review: Great reference in applied mathematics - Great book to get the whole picture in the field of applied mathematics. I am an adult learner and as such I would have appreciated more in-depth dissected math examples. I guess the specialized books referenced throughout the articles address the topics in a more precise manner. worth the price though when you love math

Buy this pair of books
I first bought "The Princeton Companion to Mathematics" and saw that "The Princeton Companion to Applied Mathematics" was a natural complement to the first. It was logical to get both. Both are very comprehensive and well organized. I wish I had the mind to comprehend all of it, but at least I have excellent reference material on a vast array of topics.

If you like applied maths
If you like applied maths, don't hesitate to buy this book. I am a retired engineer in applied mathematics and I did see and follow the evolution of the field (introducing MATLAB in my company many years ago). Now I have more time to look at the so many diverse and interesting aspects of the field. I recommend this book and also the Princeton Companion to Mathematics, both are your time worth.

Excellent hefty reference book covers a broad spectrum of applied math topics in relatively short (several pages) and self-contained chapters. For the most part, you can dip into individual chapters as needed. The chapters are accessible for readers with a background at the lower division (sometimes upper division) undergraduate level but they have enough detail to provide a good start for more advanced practitioners. I would highly recommend this book.

Great book for engineering enthusiasts
This is great book, got in INR 5858, printed price is 99 $, last year it was selling in 60-62 $ (AROUND 4600 INR), I missed the bus. Cover is best quality, pages and printing is good. Great content on a variety of topics, relevant to engineers.

A nice and concise treatise.
This book is up to date. The topics are well written by reknewed specialists. I got surprised with the price and the content of this fascinating area known as applied math, which is mostly under physics problems. Eberth Correa Brazil.
