Negative Positive
Title: So close to being a perfect textbook, but just missed.
Review: Beiser tries amazingly hard in order to make the book very understandable. He simplifies the math and explains the concepts very carefully. However, he fails to explain many of the concepts behind the math, so the student is left with a straightforward equation with no meaning. However, his scientific biographies and occasional digressions, as well as its clarity, make this a solid textbook.
