Average Rating:
Rating: - This book is good.
One of the best books available on this subject in my opinion. I learned better from this book than I did from any of my teachers. Great examples, reasonable problems. Full color and great explanations of the concepts. And with the help of the available solutions manual, you might not even need to take the course to learn it.

Rating: - Okay, but not great
Not a bad text. It is well-written and clear, but lacks depth. Slightly oversimplified. There is not a sufficient variety of problems. I taught from this text and found that I had to supplement it with my own information.
