Great recommendation. Expensive, but bought it anyway because it's the first time I have seen it, and the table of contents listed all the mathematical techniques I recognize as "oh, that's an X domain problem," like queueing, information theory, conditional probability, fourier transforms, but didn't have the depth to implement models with them in a practical amount of time. I noticed there wasn't a graph theory chapter, which perhaps if they sell out of these they can add one in the next edition. A breadth first intuition for things like power laws, complexity, combinatoric explosion, and related ideas has shortened a lot of meetings. Even if it's impenetrable, worst case I will still be able to recognize problems as likely having solutions in those domains and speak to enough of the concepts to find someone with the depth to solve them.
