Reviews

Spectral geometry and spectral analysis play an important role not only in global analysis but also in certain other areas of mathematics and physics. The book Spectral Functions in Mathematics and Physics is suitable for a wide audience of both experts and non experts in these fields--it is a well-written introduction to the field by one of the experts ... [it] will be useful to both mathematicians and mathematical physicists. - SIAM Review, 2003
