“Each chapter provides a thorough description of the background of the method under consideration, explains its properties, and makes clear for which type of problem it is suitable. Plenty of carefully designed instructive figures provide examples illustrating the methods’ features. … It is also likely to form an excellent foundation for designing a semester’s set of lectures for a course addressing graduate students.” (Kai Diethelm, Computing Reviews, April, 2018)
