Blackwell Publishing ISBN: 0632053453 This book is mainly aimed at those of us who glaze over at the mention of maths.The main purpose is to re-introduce simple mathematics and show how they are relevent for interpreting some very familiar geology.The book starts with some very simple math and progresses in a logical fashion towards the level of complexity required to interpret geological data. The expression of mathematical concepts is at all times relevant to geology and in these times of an abundance of quantitative data, it is important for geologists to keep up with colleagues in other disciplines.
