Our reviewer describes it as a classic in the field of inverse problems and recommends it to all readers inclined to the theory and solution of inverse problems. The next review discusses the book Nonlinear Solid Mechanics for Finite Element Analysis: Dynamics, by Javier Bonet, Antonio J. Gil, and Richard D. Wood. The reviewer Josip Tamba\u010da praises in particular the free source code that comes with the book and which is an extra feature the reviewer found most beneficial.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>The next three books are in one way or another related to biological aspects of mathematics. Yuan Gao and Jian-Guo Liu review the book Stochastic Chemical Reaction Systems in Biology, by Hong Qian and Hao Ge. The reviewers describe the textbook as accessible for any graduate student with a background in differential equations. Russell Milne reviews the book Introduction to Quantitative Ecology, by Timothy E. Essington. He recommends the book as an excellent resource to an undergraduate-level and also graduate-level quantitative ecology course. Phylogenetic Comparative Methods in R, by Liam J. Revell and Luke J. Harmon, is reviewed by Emmanuel Paradis. He recalls the description of the field as \u201ca specialized branch of evolutionary biology that aims to study the evolution of species traits and its mechanisms\u201d and discusses the features of the book in great detail. He finally recommends the book to students and evolutionary biologists interested in the field.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>The section ends on a meta level. The book An Applied Mathematician's Apology is written by L. N. Trefethen, who is a very well known applied mathematician. Rather than mathematical concepts, this book contemplates attitudes towards mathematics---specifically applied mathematics. The reviewer Robert Corless mentions having enjoyed reading the short, though powerful, book and highly recommends it.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1137\/23n975715","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,8]],"date-time":"2023-05-08T10:05:24Z","timestamp":1683540324000},"page":"591-598","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Book Reviews"],"prefix":"10.1137","volume":"65","author":[{"given":"Volker H.","family":"Schulz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"351","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,9]]},"container-title":["SIAM Review"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/epubs.siam.org\/doi\/pdf\/10.1137\/23N975715","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,20]],"date-time":"2026-08-20T14:46:39Z","timestamp":1787237199000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/epubs.siam.org\/doi\/10.1137\/23N975715"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2023,5]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2023,5]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1137\/23N975715"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1137\/23n975715","relation":{},"ISSN":["0036-1445","1095-7200"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0036-1445","type":"print"},{"value":"1095-7200","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2023,5]]}}}
