Recenzje

'The author certainly makes every effort to explain all the concepts in great detail with well-chosen examples, and he provides a huge number of problems including 'challenge problems' and 'recommended problems'. There are also extensive web resources available.' Peter Giblin, University of Liverpool, The Mathematical Gazette
