Towing Icebergs, Falling Dominos by Robert B. Banks

This is a good book about applied mathematics. The examples are varied and interesting. Population, national debt, Olympic scoring, jump ropes, wind turbines, football leagues, shot puts, golf balls, running, tsunamis. Often differential equations but fairly accessible. Would be fun to go through slowly and work out some of the math. Many interesting references for more info. Problems at end of chapters which I didn't have time to work. Hope to read the sequel.
