SIAM Review, Volume 65, Issue 2, Page 591-598, May 2023.
We begin the section with Alexander Mamonov's review on the book An Introduction to the Mathematical Theory of Inverse Problems, written by Andreas Kirsch. 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 Tambača praises in particular the free source code that comes with the book and which is an extra feature the reviewer found most beneficial. 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 “a specialized branch of evolutionary biology that aims to study the evolution of species traits and its mechanisms” and discusses the features of the book in great detail. He finally recommends the book to students and evolutionary biologists interested in the field. 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.

书评

SIAM Review，第 65 卷，第 2 期，第 591-598 页，2023 年 5 月。
我们从 Alexander Mamonov 对 Andreas Kirsch 所著的《反问题的数学理论导论》一书的评论开始本节。我们的审稿人将其描述为反问题领域的经典之作，并推荐给所有倾向于反问题理论和解决方案的读者。下一篇评论讨论了 Javier Bonet、Antonio J. Gil 和 Richard D. Wood 撰写的《用于有限元分析的非线性固体力学：动力学》一书。审稿人 Josip Tambača 特别称赞本书附带的免费源代码，这是审稿人认为最有益的一项额外功能。接下来的三本书都以某种方式与数学的生物学方面相关。Yuan Gao 和 Jian-Guo Liu 评论了 Hong Qian 和 Hao Ge 合着的《生物学中的随机化学反应系统》一书。审稿人将这本教科书描述为任何具有微分方程背景的研究生都可以理解。Russell Milne 评论了 Timothy E. Essington 的《定量生态学导论》一书。他推荐这本书作为本科生和研究生水平的定量生态学课程的优秀资源。Phylogenetic Comparative Methods in R，作者 Liam J. Revell 和 Luke J. Harmon，由 Emmanuel Paradis 审阅。他回忆起对该领域的描述是“进化生物学的一个专门分支，旨在研究物种特征及其机制的进化”，并详细讨论了这本书的特点。他最终将这本书推荐给对该领域感兴趣的学生和进化生物学家。本节以元级别结束。《应用数学家》一书 s Apology 由 LN Trefethen 撰写，他是一位非常知名的应用数学家。这本书考虑的不是数学概念，而是对数学的态度——特别是应用数学。评论家罗伯特·科莱斯 (Robert Corless) 提到很喜欢阅读这本短小精悍的书，并强烈推荐这本书。
