Renowned applied mathematician Gilbert Strang teaches applied mathematics with the clear explanations, examples and insights of an experienced teacher. This book progresses steadily through a range of topics from symmetric linear systems to differential equations to least squares and Kalman filtering and optimization. It clearly demonstrates the power of matrix algebra in engineering problem solving. This is an ideal book (beloved by many readers) for a first course on applied mathematics and a reference for more advanced applied mathematicians. The only prerequisite is a basic course in linear algebra.

Chatty, but a classic

Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2017

The book is chatty as all hell. But if you put in your time to read it, you will thoroughly learn the material.

Read a number of books on the topic. Strang's well though-out explanations are insightful. I highly recommend this book.

Strang doesn't do an efficient job in this text when trying to explain concepts. Much of the notation used is dated which can make it hard to follow many derivations. Personally I find it best for books like this to provide examples of how to use these concepts in a practical sense and this book does this very sparingly. I would not recommend this book for learning applied mathematics. Surely there are other texts that are more clear, efficient, and provide examples that would be more helpful.

Unique and extraordinary, but title a bit misleading

Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2010

This is a rather quirky book: It deals with a lot of subjects from a personal view of the author who has an obviously enormous mathematical culture, and whizzes us though a great range of topics with rather little time to breathe. Most of the time it's quite clear, but it requires mathematical maturity. I cant see how anyone could learn complex calculus or multivariable calculus from this, if it was their very first time. However if you have seen a lot of this material elsewhere in a patchy way this book is extraordinarily good a giving you a grand unified view.
Don't expect too many proofs, though.
I would complete this with other books and I would read this book only as an advanced undergraduate or more. It could be used to supplement the Wikipedia articles for example.

The best book ever for applied math

Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2000

This is the best book I have read on applied mathematics. It simply contains everything you would need to fully understand the theory and application of applied mathematics. The book is well written, while it requires general knowledge of linear algebra and matrix computation. The explanations in the book are very clearly stated and very understandable. Very very good reference for applied math. The material really makes a wonderful grasp on why and how to apply mathematics to some very demanding and complex structures that we deal with in science. Every serious applied math person should have this book on the shelf, it really deserves it.

not an introduction

Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2013

It is impossible to learn anything new from this book alone. The way that the material is presented is absolutely brilliant if you already have a decent understanding of the subject, but completely unintelligible if you don't. I say that from experience. The chapters where I already had a background I thought were amazing. The ones that were completely new to me made absolutely no sense.

something for everyone

Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2001

i've read his linear algebra and its applications, and am refreshed by his choice of materials and elegance without sacrificing the details and proofs. In no way is it an introductory text in anything. Don't be fooled by the "applied" in the title, all the materials are rigorously presented without the sleigh o' hand approach in theoretical treatments engineering books tend to have. it contains a plethora of fascinating and up-to-date topics - relatively so for amateurs like me - such as kalman filtering and combinatorial optimization. a real eye-opener.

A maths book worth reading again and again

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 10, 2011

Verified Purchase

I bought this book to review some of the maths that I learnt on my Electrical Engineering under-graduate course. This book is well worth having particularly if it is used with the free videos available from MIT where Dr Strang lectures. This book is certainly undergraduate level and for someone like me requires re-reading many times. The book covers a great deal of modern mathematics - complex variables, finite element method, eigenvalues and eigenfunctions to name but a few. What saves it for me as a non-mathematically biased reader is the enthusiasm that comes through. This book has a lot of information which in the hands of others could be overwhelming, but Dr Stang's joy in the subject starts to make the reader think mathematically. I would recommend it to any engineer.
