Description
Optimal transport is a beautiful theory with plenty of applications both inside and outside mathematics; even though it has its roots in the work of Monge at the end of the 18th century, it is still the object of an intensive stream of pure, applied, and computational research. Gero Friesecke brilliantly succeeds in giving a rich, modern, and mathematically rigorous overview of the field while sharing his deep intuitions with the reader." - Guillaume Carlier, Universite Paris Dauphine "I wish that this book had existed when I first learned (and taught) optimal transport!" - David Bourne, Heriot-Watt University
