Title: Competent text, but beware of a few downsides
Product review: Even though the textbook's content is well written and clear, there were several big downsides (for me).The first was that the text sometimes skips steps in the derivations, and simply presents the final solutions. This is fine if you simply want the end result. But, if you are interested in the fundamentals as well, you will be slightly disappointed.The second major drawback for me was the abysmal quality of the illustrations. All the illustrations are in black and white, and they are beyond plain. They appear to have been done in Microsoft Paint by someone with little passion for their work.For someone who is a visual learner, the illustrations might be a deal breaker when it comes to this text.Aside from that, the content is quite competently written.
