Negative Positive
Title: Uneven exposition levels but very good overall
Review: A comprehensive exposition of the title subject. The historical introduction (Chapter 0) is a gem. Chapters are written by different contributors, but with a few exceptions the overall organization is coherent. One minor problem is the disparity of notations for matrix algebra used by contributors. Main missing topic: applications in high performance computing. Exhaustive bibliography.
