If anyone is curious about the textbook, it's the recently published first volume of the Foundations of Applied Mathematics series, available through SIAM. The series is being written by three BYU professors (Humphreys, Jarvis, and Evans) who also run the Applied & Computational Math Program at BYU. I recently graduated from the program, and found it to be a really fantastic experience. The four volumes in the series (once the last three are published) are the outgrowth of the ACME program.
EDIT: Since this had made r/all, I'd like to make a bit of a pitch for what these books represent. The BYU program (ACME) around these books is an intense 4-semester program for undergraduates, giving them a sequence in Banach-valued analysis, advanced linear algebra and spectral theory, algorithm design, mathematical optimization, probability and statistics (with a bit of measure theory), machine learning, ordinary and partial differential equations, the calculus of variations, and optimal control theory. Alongside the classwork are ~100 Python labs meant to implement what's learned in class. At BYU, the setup is a cohort model, meant to get students working in groups (which is essential in order to learn the entire curriculum). ACME changed my life and has set me up for a career in mathematics.
