Mathematics and Technology
The authors present useful, elegant mathematical concepts such as Markov chains, function iteration and simple groups, and develop these concepts in the context of applications to important, practical problems such as web-navigation, data compression and error correcting codes. The authors highlight how mathematical modeling, together with the power of mathematical tools and abstraction, have been crucial for innovation in technology. The topics are presented with clarity, and the mathematics i…

Summary
The authors present useful, elegant mathematical concepts such as Markov chains, function iteration and simple groups, and develop these concepts in the context of applications to important, practical problems such as web-navigation, data compression and error correcting codes. The authors highlight how mathematical modeling, together with the power of mathematical tools and abstraction, have been crucial for innovation in technology. The topics are presented with clarity, and the mathematics is expressed in a straightforward manner ...
