Biography
Brian Vick is an associate professor at Virginia Tech in US, and a long time teacher and researcher. His style has been developed from teaching a variety of engineering and mathematical courses in the areas of heat transfer, thermodynamics, engineering design, computer programming, numerical analysis, and system dynamics at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.
"This slender book on applied mathematics packs a lot of material into 11 chapters. ...[The author] believes that visualization methods are superior for making the analysis meaningful and, to that end, he employs graphs, diagrams, and tables."
-- N. Sadanand in Choice
