The range of applications is broad. The examples are easy to understand and are generally supported by interesting problems. The book is carefully edited and the graphic and text style are consistent from chapter to chapter-the hallmark of attention to detail in a book with numerous authors."" - Mathematical Reviews ""Finally - a practical, innovative, well-written book that will also inspire its readers. The wonder is...it is a mathematics text and a biography! The idea of women telling their own career stories, emphasizing the mathematics they use in their jobs is extremely creative. This book makes me wish that I could go through school all over again!"" - Anne Bryant, Executive Director, American Association of University Women
