DESCRIPTION:
. Richard Bellman is a professor of mathematics, electrical engineering, and medicine at the University of Southern California
Rapid advances in the physical and biological sciences and in related technologies have brought about equally farreaching changes in mathematical research. The new opportunities for mathematical research presage, Bellman concludes, a renaissance of mathematics in human affairs by involving it closely in the problems of society.. Focusing on control theory, invariant imbedding, dynamic programming, and quasilinearization, Mr. Bellman explores with ease and clarity the mathematical research problems arising from scientific questions in engineering, physics, biology, and medicine. Special attention is paid in these essays to the use of the digital computer in obtaining the numerical solution of numerical problems, its influence in

His early interest in pure mathematics was sooneclipsed by a consuming passion for applications.

Bellman is credited, amon. A Reader said Text's Writing Style is Open-Loop Narcissism (verging on the clinical!!!). The subject-matter seems that of a physicist or a controls professor, not at all of a mathematician. Also there is a lot of unnecessary, pro-gradualism (institutional, communistic ) statements made throughout the text. In fact, the whole text, should be considered as verging on the edge of disaster. I feel only someone with some very modern, hard-core controls training and scholarship would really benefit much from reading
