✦ Synopsis

This is an advanced textbook and a manual of data analysis for physical geography. The mathematical and computer related material contained in the book is on a fairly elementary level. but the applications to physical geography appear to be nontrivial. The Table of Contents lists four parts: Essentials of Matrix Algebra, Analysis of Dependence, Analysis of Interdependence and Classification. There is an Appendix with a Fortran Subroutine Library.

The book appears to.be a well written reference type work for students of physical geography, who need the mathematical approaches utilized here.
