". . . the present book has the merit of collecting and treating in a unitary and accessible manner a large number of relevant problems in mathematical biology; the text is well written, systematically presented, accurate most of the time and accessible to a fairly large audience; it could do a great service to the community of researchers in mathematical control theory . . ."- Stefan Mirica, in Mathematical Reviews, 2008f
