Title: Unfriendly
Review: There is no shortage of good material in this book. The problem is Havil's writing style is very unfriendly it's as if he thinks you already know the material. There are many section that are written badly and are after re-reading several times I still don't understand them. Also this is written for folks who know math very well and I'm one of those folks, yet I find many sections hard to understand. Genius is in taking something complicated and breaking it down and making it simple, which Havil doesn't do. He's no William Dunning.
