shows how to employ simple mathematical tools, such as
arithmetic, to uncover fundamental conflicts between the logic
of human civilization and the logic of Nature. These tools can
then be used to understand and effectively deal with economic,
environmental, and social issues. With elementary mathematics,
the book seeks answers to a host of real-life questions,
including: A truly interdisciplinary, concrete study of
mathematics, this classroom-tested text discusses the importance
of certain mathematical principles and concepts, such as fuzzy
logic, feedback, deductive systems, fractions, and logarithms,
in various areas other than pure mathematics. It teaches
students how to make informed choices using fundamental
mathematical tools, encouraging them to find solutions to
critical real-world problems. The book can be reco
