About this title

Review

"This book is detailed, systematic, and easy to follow. Each chapter is divided into subtopics that follow one another logically, giving the reader a complete understanding of the concepts. Each topic is accompanied by vivid examples, figures, or diagrams that help the reader grasp the material. In this manner, a gradual and comprehensive knowledge is built. I will definitely use this text myself and strongly recommend it to my students as well as my colleagues."
