The presentation is suitable for detailed study, for quick review or reference to the various methods that are presented. The book is also suitable for independent study. The volume will be of interest to research mathematicians, physicists, and graduate students working in matrix theory and approximation, as well as to analysts and mathematical physicists.

"This book will be a valuable reference for anyone interested in any aspect of Loewner's theorem. The variety of techniques used in the eleven proofs also makes the text a good introduction to many standard methods in functional analysis and function theory." (Linda J. Patton, Mathematical Reviews, October, 2020)
"Doubtless, this 43-chapter book is very well written in a reader-friendly style. Chapters include some historical remarks and helpful comments. The reviewer would like to recommend the book strongly to postgraduate students and mathematicians interested in operator inequalities." (Mohammad Sal Moslehian, zbMATH 1428.26002, 2020)
