'This beautiful book describes an important area of mathematics, concerning random matrices associated with the classical compact groups, in a highly accessible and engaging way. It connects a broad range of ideas and techniques, from analysis, probability theory, and representation theory to recent applications in number theory. It is a really excellent introduction to the subject.' J. P.

It is a really excellent introduction to the subject.' J. P. Keating, University of Bristol 'Meckes's new text is a wonderful contribution to the mathematics literature ... The book addresses many important topics related to the field of random matrices and provides a who's-who list for the subject in its list of references. Those actively researching in this area should acquire a copy of the book; they will understand the jargon from compact matrix groups, measure theory, and probability ...' A. Misseldine, Choice '... the author provides an overview of foundational results and recent progress in the study of random matrices from classical compact groups, that is O(n), U(n) and Sp(2n). The main goal is to answer the general question: 'What is a random orthogonal, unitary or symplectic matrix like'?' Andreas Arvanitoyeorgos, zbMATH '... this is a useful book which can serve both as a reference and as a supplemental reading for a course in random matrices.'
