Title: Some nice explanations, NOT ENOUGH EXAMPLES
Review: I am not a student at UMD, but took a class there over the summer which used this textbook. While it is a nice book with some helpful explanations, there are just not enough examples. The problems it gives are very difficult if you've never seen a similar problem worked on, and the textbook just doesn't work through enough problems to properly teach technique. If this is required for a class, I guess you have to get it. Just remember that you'll still have to go to class. Don't buy it just to learn the stuff on your own. There are better books for it.
