Reviews
From the book reviews:
“The content of the work is divided into 21 chapters. … All the material is carefully developed, with many examples and figures supporting the concepts discussed here. The notions are well motivated and many additional explanations are given, which makes the book very readable.” (Gabriel Eduard Vîlcu, Mathematical Reviews, February, 2015)
