Title: Not mathematical strict enough
Review: I used this book in an applied math for physicists course. The book is generally easy to read and starts with a short summary of vector calculus, complex analysis and linear algebra. However I'd say that this is only usable for brushing up, and shouldn't be used to learn the stuff from scratch. The rest of the book is not too challenging and contains many examples.My main problem with this book, however, is that it is not strict enough when it comes to the math. She often assumes that a variable or a function is real, without stating it and not considering the general case of a complex function. I'm really glad I had another book on real analysis to get the mathematical foundation to really understand the subjects.
Is the review positive or negative?
