Review title: Too light for a doorstop, too obtuse for a textbook
Product review: If you already know math methods, buy this book as a reference or to refresh your memory. If you hope to use this book to learn math methods, keep looking. If you're buying it because it's required for a class, be prepared to gather a few more books to get through.I just finished a math methods course. I found myself constantly reading other books to learn how to solve the problems assigned to me out of this book. I used Kreyszig and Arfken & Weber to get me through my math methods course. This book is not for those whose math skills are rusty. Its derivations skip steps which are probably obvious to those more knowledgeable. It simply baffled me.It may be baffling, but at least its expensive.
