"This is a nice collection of topics that are not usually present in a single text…I am glad that the book is on my bookshelf." (MAA Reviews, January 1, 2006)

“…a very useful textbook…stimulating and never boring to read, illustrating once more the richness and beauty of the field.” (Zentralbaltt MATH, July 2005)

"Stahl...proves a welcome alternative to compartmentalized treatments bound to the old thinking. This clearly written, well-illustrated book supplies sufficient background to be self-contained." (CHOICE, June 2005)
