Recensione

From the reviews:

“The present volume, part of the ‘Springer Briefs in Mathematics’ series, stays focused and eminently accessible to undergraduates, who will find exciting research opportunities spelled out in this concrete and nearly brand new subject. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above.” (D. V. Feldman, Choice, Vol. 50 (9), May, 2013)

“The technique of inverse limits is very useful in many areas of mathematics. ... In the present book the emphasis is on inverse limits for set-valued functions ... . An important feature of the book is numerous examples that illustrate the difference between single-valued and set-valued inverse limits. The book is meant as an introduction to the area and should be accessible to advanced undergraduate and graduate students.” (S. Mardešić, Mathematical Reviews, March, 2013)

“The book is reader-friendly: definitions, theorems, and proofs are supported by many illustrative examples. This makes this book really stand out and greatly improves its readability, making it accessible also to general readers in mathematics. Advanced undergraduate students, graduate students, and researchers that are working in the area of inverse limits will definitely find the book very useful.” (Iztok Banič, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1257, 2013)
