"The book contains a lot of exercises of different degree of difficulties, but the proofs of the theorems are done in detail. The book is very elaborate and very welcome not only for graduate students, but also for all people interested in mathematical physics." (Stefan Berceanu, zbMATH 1358.58002, 2017)
