This greatly helps the reader understand why each technique works and how it is implemented in the Matlab software. Computational projects suggested in the book can also assist students with the practical implementation of the techniques in real-life applications.-Efstratios Rappos (Aubonne) in Zentralblatt, MATH 1287.
