Computing in Applied Science by William J. Thompson (1984)
  I've deleted the body of my review of this book which
impinges on Computer Science, Mathematics and Science (particu-
larly Physics.)  

...  but here is my concluding remarks - which I think are relevant
to our recent discussion ...

  The only warning I have about this book concerns the author's
taste in puns.  I nearly cracked up at his suggestion that the
major contributions of the electrical engineer C. P. Steinmetz (1865-
1923) be honored by using his initials for the unit of frequency.
