Maybe more than an introduction

The quality of this book is that it introduces to the fundamental concepts of applied maths without any lack of rigor, while being easy to read and thus suitable as a self-learning tool. It covers a large range of topics, but shows well the relations between them. Demonstrations are present when needed. A step-by-step approach takes you through pages which might have looked quite complicated at the first glance. Emphasis has been put on explanation and physically-based examples. The advantage of this kind of math books over engineering books is that included demonstrations make you understand where the results you use are coming from. I think it is important if, like me, you are involved in research. Overall, a book I learned a lot from.
