“The book is best suited for advanced graduate students and specialists in nonlinear potential theoryThe author provides background appendices for probability, Brownian motion and PDEs.” (Bill Satzer, MAA Reviews, April 4, 2021)

Marta Lewicka is a Polish mathematician at the University of Pittsburgh, specializing in Mathematical Analysis. Marta obtained her PhD in 2000 from Scuola Internazionale Superiore di Studi Avanzati with a thesis on Hyperbolic Systems of Conservation Laws. She has subsequently worked on Calculus of Variations, Partial Differential Equations, Continuum Mechanics, and Tug-of-War Games in relation to Nonlinear Potential Theory.
