“I am deeply impressed by the quality of the contributions both from the mathematical and also from the applications side. I highly recommend this book to newcomers in the field and also to experts who want to broaden their expertise in other directions.” (Ekkehard Sachs, SIAM Review, Vol. 61 (4), December, 2019)
