"The book is well structured, and gives the necessary background, detailed insight into eigenvalue location algorithms as well as their applications and possible relations with some open problems. It provides a concise and at the same time rich introduction to eigenvalue location algorithms." (Milica Andelic, zbMATH 1511.05001, 2023)
