Rezensionen

"The mathematical background required in the book is two-three semesters of calculus and some differential equations and linear algebra, it can be easily used for a course in the junior or senior undergraduate years or in the early years of graduate studies. But, it can be also useful for management scientists, mathematicians, engineers and economists working in the field of optimal control and applications." (Doina Carp, zbMath 1412.49001, 2019)
