Review


On the second edition: "The subject has wide applications in physical, biological, and social sciences which continuously supply new problems of practical and theoretical importance. The book does a good job in motivating the reader in such pursuits, and presents the subject in a simple but elegant style." --P. K. Kythe in Applied Mechanics Reviews
