Reviews:
'In this book, Yang provides an introduction to the fundamental mathematics that all Earth scientists should attain. The book is self-contained and provides an essential toolkit of basic mathematics...Even though the book has been designed to offer good introduction to nonmathematicians and freshman geoscientists, it can also be used as a quick reference book for refreshing elementary mathematical concepts commonly used in Earth sciences by experienced geoscientists.' The Leading Edge, February 2010

'An effective fresher of mathematical techniques for those working in the earth sciences.' Choice, Current Reviews for Academic Libraries
