Title: From a grad student's point of view
Product review: The book is poorly written. And the author tries to claim the credit for a lot of previous work, without mentioning when, where or who invented the proofs or solutions. He sometimes mocks and makes fun of other people's definitions calling them "pitiful!." The language used seems to be intended to sound fancy and sophisticated, but to me it's plain annoying.The answers to most examples are not provided promptly, instead they are piled together at the end of the chapter.. leaving the student to wander around constantly looking for what the author is trying to say.I would not recommend this book for use as a text book, for it is (unlike what some reviews say) not easy to read, in fact most proofs and explinations are not formatted well, they are written as in an essay.. long sentences and in text format ex: (1/2) instead of an actual math font for the number one half.
