This text covers the relevant mathematics for courses in geology (including environmental), applied mathematics, geography, geophysics, palaeobiology, engineering geology (soil mechanics, construction, hydraulics), mining (exhaustible resource like oil), and surveying. The approach is deliberately gentle and intuitive for non-mathematical scientists. Containing worked examples, the book addresses the mathematical concepts as they apply to the geological sciences in the wake of the great upheavals caused by tectonixs and other phenomena. Each chapter concludes witha summary of its content, problem exercises, answers and tuthorial help from teaching experience in the UK and the USA.
