SummaryTable of Contents
Using mathematics to solve real-world problems requires a balance. You must not only be concerned with the details, but you also need to understand the big picture. Sometimes it is necessary to focus in on a particular part of a problem. The cover takes part of the picture shown here and enlarges it many times. It visually symbolizes this relationship between 'big picture' and details.
