"It is convenient that every chapter ends up with a summary of the results considered and a bunch of exercises. I hope the author's experience and expertise are what had inspired him to write this book of the present form, size and choice of matter. I also hope that it will find additional readers beyond the author's students." (Zentralblatt MATH, 1 May 2015)
