Professor Agterberg published his first paper as a graduate student in 1958 and has since produced (and continues to publish) a steady stream of research papers on a wide variety of subjects of interest to geomathematical practitioners. Most of the papers included here address methodology and feature practical case studies, so that the book likely has broad appeal to those interested in mathematical geosciences, both to academic researchers seeking a comprehensive overview and also to practitioners of geomathematical approaches in industry. 606 $aGeology$xMathematics 606 $aMathematical geography 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aGeology$xMathematics. 615 0$aMathematical geography. 676 $a500 676 $a510 676 $a510.24553 676 $a510/.2 676 $a510/.2/4553 676 $a550.151 700 $aBonham-Carter$b Graeme$0942403 701 $aCheng$b Qiuming$0942404 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451498303321 996 $aProgress in geomathematics$92126612 997 $aUNINA
