Summary "Foundations of Science Mathematics bridges the gap between school and university and spans a large range of topics, from basic arithmetic and algebra to calculus and Fourier transforms. It is much more than just a formula-book. Its informal and readable tutorial style should make it accessible to the novice, while its concise nature will ensure that it is a useful reference for the experienced professional. The authors aim to convey a meaningful understanding of where the results come from, rather than providing a formal proof of every statement."--BOOK JACKET
