Customer Reviews

Required textbook for a class

I rarely ever actually use my "required" textbooks for my classes except as a reference or maybe to clarify a point. However, for this particular class, there was no classroom instruction so I was required to actually sit down and open the book. I was pleasantly surprised! This text is straightforward, and the concepts are easy to follow. Instead of being written like the majority of other texts (in a way that seems like the author is just trying to prove his superiority and extended expertise in the subject matter), this text was truly written for the student who is trying to learn a new concept. Highly recommended.

Decent Explanations

This text is generally okay. It explains things in good detail. I think that it focuses a little much on calculations since computer software is available to do this for you. The higher rating may be due to my instructor requiring limited knowledge of the calculations.
