Rezension

"...a student-friendly yet rigorous textbook thataccomplishes what no other textbook has done before... I highlyrecommend this textbook. For instructors, this is a great book ifthey don't have their own class notes - one can teachstraight from the book. And for students, this is a great book ifthey don't take good class notes - one can learnstraight from the book. This is a rare attribute of advancedtextbooks."
