The SIAM series on Frontiers in Applied Mathematics publishes monographs dealing
with creative work in a substantive field involving applied mathematics or scientific
computation. All works focus on emerging or rapidly developing research areas that
report on new techniques to solve mainstream problems in science or engineering.
The goal of the series is to promote, through short, inexpensive, expertly written
monographs, cutting edge research poised to have a substantial impact on the solutions
of problems that advance science and technology. The volumes encompass a broad
spectrum of topics important to the applied mathematical areas of education,
government, and industry.
