Pressezitat
From the reviews:“This remarkable book centers on the city of Antwerp in the latter half of the 16th century, but it will be of interest to anyone who is curious about the development of mathematics and its application to a variety of fields during that period. … This interesting and scholarly work enhances our knowledge of the role of applied mathematics not only in Antwerp but also in Europe. It can be warmly recommended.” (William R. Shea, Mathematical Reviews, December, 2013)
