This review is a joint work of 10 authors from Anita Layton's group. This shows that one can efficiently combine a reading course with an introduction to scientific work and the writing of a review. All reviewers are enthusiastic about the book and recommend it to all researchers interested in the topic.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>We come from biological aspects to Eric Lauga's book Fluid Mechanics: A Very Short Introduction. Reviewer Anita Layton recommends the book especially for the younger generation of researchers. This is followed by Guenther Leobacher's review of An Introduction to the Numerical Simulation of Stochastic Differential Equations, by Desmond Higham and Peter Kloeden. The reviewer praises in particular that the authors have made the \u201cnot so easy subject accessible.\u201d After that Guenter Leugering reviews the book PDE Control of String-Actuated Motion, by Ji Wang and Miroslav Krstic. This book is recommended as having only a small gap between mathematical rigor and engineering objectives. In contrast to that, Sean M. Eli and Kre\u0161imir Josi\u0107 note that in the book Visual Differential Geometry and Forms, by Tristan Needham, \u201cthe intuition gained\u201d is \u201cat the expense of the rigor.\u201d The final review is written by Mehrshad Sadria. He praises Probabilistic Machine Learning: An Introduction, written by Kevin Murphy, as a \u201cvaluable asset for both beginners and experienced readers.\u201d<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>On a final note, after six years of service, I am pleased to pass on the responsibility of the Book Reviews section to Anita Layton, who has been a valued member of our editorial board for some time now. I am delighted to announce that starting in 2024, Anita will be taking the helm of this highly successful segment of SIAM Review. I wish her as much joy and fulfillment in this role as I have experienced.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1137\/23n975818","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,7]],"date-time":"2023-11-07T04:48:50Z","timestamp":1699332530000},"page":"1187-1197","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":[[2023,11,7]]},"container-title":["SIAM Review"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/epubs.siam.org\/doi\/pdf\/10.1137\/23N975818","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,20]],"date-time":"2026-08-20T12:31:10Z","timestamp":1787229070000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/epubs.siam.org\/doi\/10.1137\/23N975818"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2023,11]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2023,11]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1137\/23N975818"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1137\/23n975818","relation":{},"ISSN":["0036-1445","1095-7200"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0036-1445","type":"print"},{"value":"1095-7200","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2023,11]]}}}
