The book emphasizes the critical role of interdisciplinary collaboration in the fight against cancer, particularly highlighting the integration of mathematics and computer science with biology, immunology, and medicine. It discusses the ongoing efforts to activate and control the immune system in combating neoplastic cells, underscoring the necessity for mathematicians to contribute to research initiatives. While biologists and immunologists lead the charge, the book advocates for the supportive role of mathematics in advancing cancer research and immunological strategies.

Enables anyone with basic math and science skills to estimate virtually anything - quickly - using plausible assumptions and elementary arithmetic. This book presents an array of estimation problems that range from devilishly simple to quite sophisticated and from real-world concerns to silly ones.

Reveals the simple techniques needed to estimate virtually anything and illustrates them using an eclectic array of problems. This title shows how to estimate everything from how closely you can orbit a neutron star without being pulled apart by gravity, to the fuel used to transport your food from the farm to the store.
