Applied mathematics is the branch of mathematics that involves the application of mathematical principles to real-world problems, such as in physics, engineering, finance, and computer science.
Some popular undergraduate books on applied maths include "Applied Mathematics for Engineers and Physicists" by Louis A. Pipes and Lawrence R. Harvill, "Introduction to Applied Mathematics" by Gilbert Strang, and "Applied Mathematics for the Managerial, Life, and Social Sciences" by Soo Tan.
Applied mathematics covers a wide range of topics, including calculus, differential equations, linear algebra, probability and statistics, numerical analysis, and optimization.
To improve your understanding of applied mathematics, it is important to practice solving problems and to seek out additional resources, such as textbooks, online tutorials, and study groups. It can also be helpful to work on real-world applications of the principles learned in class.
Yes, there are many online resources available for learning applied mathematics, such as Khan Academy, MIT OpenCourseWare, and Coursera. It is also helpful to follow math blogs and join online communities to discuss and learn from others interested in applied mathematics.
