should probably have a reference for the book itself, also add a link to CirclePack |
ok, but not as a reference (references are about the topic, not the topic themselves) and in the correct citation style |

'''''Introduction to Circle Packing: The Theory of Discrete Analytic Functions''''' is a mathematical [[monograph]] concerning systems of [[tangent circles]] and the [[circle packing theorem]]. It was written by Kenneth Stephenson and published in 2005 by the [[Cambridge University Press]].

The book presents research-level mathematics, and is aimed at professional mathematicians interested in this and related topics. Reviewer Frédéric Mathéus describes the level of the material in the book as "both mathematically rigorous and accessible to the novice mathematician", presented in an approachable style that conveys the author's love of the material.{{r|matheus}} However, although the preface to the book states that no background knowledge is necessary, and that the book can be read by non-mathematicians or used as an undergraduate textbook, reviewer Michele Intermont disagrees, noting that it has no exercises for students and writing that "non-mathematicians will be nothing other than frustrated with this book".{{r|intermont}} Similarly, reviewer [[David Mumford]] finds the first seven chapters (part I and much of part II) to be at an undergraduate level, but writes that "as a whole, the book is suitable for graduate students in math".{{r|mumford}}
