The Invisible Power of Mathematics

" This book is an enjoyable read for anyone with a penchant for mathematics, and it is also a good resource for anyone interested in knowing how mathematics can be used to solve real-world problems. . . . Invisible Power of Mathematics will instill in you a new appreciation for the hidden mathematical structures at work everywhere. " (Firdous Ahmad Mala, The Mathematical Intelligencer, Vol. 47 (2), 2025)

The Invisible Power of Mathematics by Giovanni Samaey and Joos Vandewalle discusses 20 wide-ranging applications of mathematics, devoting an average of eight pages to each application. . . . The book feels like a series of conversations about mathematics while walking through the woods with nothing to write on and with far more words than equations. . . . The Invisible Power of Mathematics is closer to the Bell end, which is needed given book' s intended purpose. (John D. Cook, MAA Reviews, January 28, 2024)
