Introduction to Random Matrices: Theory and Practice (SpringerBriefs in Mathematical Physics, 26)

“The text is well written, and the authors’ informal conversational style sets the book up nicely for someone who is using it as a self-study guide in the area. The chapters are short, but there are numerous examples, and the most instructive calculations are represented in full. Particular attention is paid to the numerical verification of the most analytical results.” (Susanna Spektor, Mathematical Reviews, September, 2018)
“Giacomo Livan, Marcel Novaes, and Pierpaolo Vivo have written a small but lively book on random matrices. ... The book feels conversational. It has an informal tone, a sense of humor, and a pleasant mixture of exposition and detail. The pace is brisk, appropriate for a book aiming to be an introductory survey rather than a formal textbook.” (John D. Cook, MAA Reviews, July, 2018)

“The emphasis is on concepts, computations and tricks of the trade, and the style is modern and informal, which the reader will no doubt enjoy. ... This monograph should prove to become a very welcome companion to the serious and enthusiastic reader setting out to get to know this vast and very useful subject.” (Rabe von Randow, zbMATH 1386.15003, 2018)
