Review # 1 was written on 2016-01-23 00:00:00 Tony Smith Every topic covered within this books is explained in a manner that would make sense to a child. In terms of clarity of explanation and exposition, I have not read a better textbook than this. While it's limitations with regards to scope exist, it would be unfair to judge the book by them. In fact, reading this book, I felt myself wishing all textbooks could be written this well, and perhaps that is why so many are quick to criticise the material that isn't included. For my own purposes I would say it lacked very very little. I studied engineering for undergraduate and postgraduate degrees, and this book was invaluable throughout. Whenever another text was needed, it was the principles explained with such beautiful clarity within this book that opened the door for the other texts to be comprehensible. My copy now resides with my sister who is using it to study postgraduate physics. She also notes the limitations on scope, but in regard to a physics degree, and at the same time shares my own high regard for it. If you are studying any mathematical based subject at degree level, then you won't regret obtaining a copy of this book. In my own experience, no topic covered within was ever covered more clearly anywhere else. It is as powerful a tool as a calculator.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-03-25 00:00:00 Joseph Liberty This book represents a masterpiece in clear exposition. It takes the patient reader from quite basic mathematics through to that required by third year undergraduates in engineering and physical science courses in planned, frame-based, systematic and methodical steps. Each chapter has revision summaries, revision exercises and quizzes together with answers. Even mathematics undergraduates would probably benefit from it as part of their reading diet. It's been the 'staple' diet for such courses for decades for a reason: it has few if any peers!
