Reviews
From the reviews: As the title suggests, this textbook in three volumes is mainly intended for students in natural sciences and engineering. ! This is of course a big advantage which could serve as a model for many textbooks in mathematics as well. (Jurgen Appell, Zentrablatt MATH, Vol. 1153, 2009)
