“The book represents an excellent introduction and hands-on guide to this important and exciting field, for applied mathematicians and image processing practitioners … . It is, perhaps, most beneficial, to electrical and computer science majors who wish to rapidly immerse themselves in the field, in a manner that is mathematically correct and sound, yet also practical.” (Emil Saucan, zbMATH 1501.92001, 2023)
