Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"This book covers ... from proof theory to a rich set of applications in areas quite distinct from mathematical logic: approximation theory and fixed point theory of nonexpansive mappings. ... Almost every chapter has a detailed ... informative final section with exercises, historical comments and references to related work. ... In summary, this book is a very welcome addition to the proof theory literature." (H. Schwichtenberg, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2009 k)
