Review # 1 was written on 2012-04-17 00:00:00 Laurie Mullen This book could really use a good style editor. Numbering conventions are all wonky. Mentioning things and not defining them til chapters later. We have fun in class pointing out the inconsistencies. Oh and FYI the 12th edition and 13th edition are nearly the same; some of the extra problems in the chapters are slightly different. We examined #1.37 in class this week, and the numbers of hazardous dump sites in the 12th edition were taken from a 2003 survey, which differed slightly with the later numbers my classmates had in their edition. If your professor assigns homework, this could create a problem. Mine doesn't, so I am fortunate to have been able to purchase the much cheaper, earlier edition.

Review # 2 was written on 2021-02-14 00:00:00 Alicia Erickson Striking review of fundamental concepts from a distinguished teacher. This is enlightening + engaging because you get the concepts plus its importance within the body of knowledge. Not to mention the historical context. For instance, Whitehead remember us that Archimedes was killed by a Roman soldier while contemplating a mathematical diagram and no Roman ever died in such conditions. This book is full of insights; go for it if you want to refresh your view of Mathematics having lots of fun.
