Review

"The writing is definitely at the right level for our students, with a good mix of explanation, examples, and theorems."

"Students seem to find this book very easy to read. In fact this is one of the few books in any math subject that I have gotten students to read on a consistent basis.""The design/feel of this book contributes greatly to it readability. The color coding schemes and the chart material makes important facts/concepts easy for students to pick out."

"The exercises are great. I like the variety (different type and difficulty) with which the author engages the student based on the concepts in the section. The variety of application exercises is wonderful."
