Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"This book was awarded the Ferran Sunyier i Balaguer Prize for 2001, and I am sure that it will be a very useful resource not only for researchers in this area but also for those who want to obtain the benefits of using this approach in applications." --Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society (Review of hardcover edition)

[The] rich collection of examples makes the book ... extremely useful for motivation and for spreading the ideas to a large Community. This [review] is far from complete and cannot reflect the authors' unique way of presenting examples, asking questions, giving answers or forming an intuition."(MATHEMATICAL REVIEWS)
