Abstract
This time, the Book Reviews section has a large portion of reviews on books devoted to applications---in particular medical and biological applications. The section starts with the featured review by Jessica M. Conway on the book Mathematics of Epidemics on Networks, by István Kiss, Joel C. Miller, and Péter L. Simon. As Jessica notes, it is a much needed book and provides a “good, comprehensive resource on the mathematics underlying the modeling of epidemics on networks.” Disease modeling is also the topic of the book Infectious Disease Modeling. A Hybrid System Approach, by Xinzhi Liu and Peter Stechlinski, which is reviewed by Odo Diekmann. Further biological topics in this section are biological systems and growth, modeling life, and the biomechanics of the human stomach. We have three more insightful reviews on different topics. Here, I would like to put emphasis on the review by Daniel Luft on A First Course in Computational Fluid Dynamics, by Hassan Aref and Sivaramakrishnan Balachandar. The target audience of the book is senior undergraduate students and beginning graduate students. Thus, this review is written by a current Ph.D. student.
