Reviews

The book should appreciably widen the exposure of Cholesky's 'remarkable personal achievements in topography and mathematics to a much larger international audience.' The authors succeed very well to reach this aim. ... The book is very readable and can be recommended especially to readers with interest in the history of numerical and applied mathematics. (Karl-Heinz Schlote, zbMATH 1320.01002, 2015)
