“This book is a great resource for graduate students and those who want to learn and understand stochastic control theory. It is also a great read for experts who want to gain a broader overview of the subject and wish to see connections between different techniques. … this is an excellent book and a great complement to the current offering in stochastic control.” (Jan Palczewski, SIAM Review, Vol. 62 (1), 2020)
