Rezensionen

"It is written using concise and clear language, with interesting mathematical examples and with an effort to make the polemics that are engaged in the book as clear as possible. There is a clear route leading one from the formulation of the problem to the final solution, and the reader is led from chapter to chapter to form an overview of the problem and the ingredients for its solution" (Jonas Rafael Becker Arenhart, Mathematical reviews, September, 2018)
