"""[PDE Control of String-Actuated Motion] is what the metaphor applied mathematics is all about. In this field, there is often a gap between pretension and reality, a mismatch between mathematical rigor and engineering objectives. This book is a nice counterexample!""---Guenter Leugering, SIAM Review"
