Reviews
From the reviews: “Walter Gautschi is one of the leading numerical analysts of the second half of the 20th and the beginning of the 21st century. … Brezinski and Sameh have undertaken to summarize Gautschi’s work in a generally accessible form … . This multi-volume work is not only for readers who are interested in the recent history of numerical analysis, but also for those who want to gain a general overview of this vast field.” (Kai Diethelm, Computing Reviews, May, 2014) “In each topic it goes in two steps: first there is a part in which well known specialists comment and summarize the contributions of Gautschi each of the topics in the volume and in a second part the papers classified in this topic follow. … In the e-book version, the chapters are downloadable separately which is of course a highly desirable feature. Libraries will find these hard copies on their shelves to be of lasting significance.” (A. Bultheel, The European Mathematical Society, December, 2013)
