Excellent book for review

This book was very helpful for me to review the subject. It is clear and well written with plenty of problems. I would personally prefer more example problems and more work problems with solutions, but it is getting harder and harder to find that these days.

very helpful

I'm an engineer, I've been out of school for 3 years and I bought this book for my first grad class. The book itself is like most textbooks... reading it will put you to sleep. However this book was great for learning the material. My professor is extremely hard to understand and not very helpful in lecture. Basically I taught myself the material from this book and passed with an A.
