Praise for Alternate Realities Mathematical Models of Nature and Man "a?]covers the major topics completely and accurately within the context of current knowledge. Indeed, to my knowledge, there is no book which does so nearly as completely and well." a George Leitmann, University of California, Berkeley "Surveys an extensive amount of modern mathematicsa?]introduces and outlines some of these basic modern ideas for the non-specialist." a Donald G. Saari, Northwestern University "A sophisticated and modern text on mathematical modellinga?]much more comprehensive than any of its competitors currently on the market." a George Klir, State University of New York at Binghamton "Castia s approach is fearless in constructing conceptual mappings between reality and mathematical notions. The book is pioneering in nature." a Myron B. Allen, University of Wyoming An Instructor's Manual presenting detailed solutions to all the problems in the book is available from the Wiley editorial department.
