Negative Positive
Title: Very poorly written
Review: I used this book for a graduate-level engineering course. This book is one of the worst textbooks I have seen.Is is evident that several people wrote this textbook because the style of writing will change between sections from informal to formal. Some of the sections are better written than others. In the poorly written sections, it can be very hard to follow what they are trying to say. Overall, the writing is very disjointed and care should have been taken to properly introduce topics and create more of a flow to the text.Also, there are numerous spelling errors and incomplete sentences in the text. For a third edition, one would expect those errors to be corrected; they are very obvious.The examples also contain errors. Again, the errors are very obvious such as 11-2=7.I would not recommend this textbook. At first glance, it appears to be a very comprehensive book but, actually it is very poorly written and does not explain the material well.
Is the review positive or negative?
