Editorial Reviews

All problems are from real life and are presented in a straightforward manner: the motivation for the problem, then precise mathematical statement, and the solution. The way in which the problems are solved can serve as an example for the reader own analyses.” (Paweł Klibe, zbMATH 1522.91002, 2023)
