From the reviews:

"Those readers who may have made use of Russell and Merrill's classic work of the early 1950s on eclipsing binaries, written when computers wore skirts or trousers... will perhaps be surprised to find that few up-to-date textbooks are to be found on the subject.  The present book... is well produced and concise..."

Focussing on the formulation of mathematical models for the light curves of eclipsing binary stars, and on the algorithms for generating such models, this book provides astronomers, both amateur and professional, with a guide for - specifying an astrophysical model for a set of observations - selecting an algorithm to determine the parameters of the model - estimating the errors of the parameters. It is written for readers with knowledge of basic calculus and linear algebra; appendices cover mathematical details on such matters as optimisation, co-ordinate systems, and specific models. While emphasising the physical and mathematical framework, the discussion remains close to the problems of actual implementation. The book concludes with chapters on specific models and approaches and the authors'views on the structure of future light-curve programs.
