Negative Positive
Title: Very Scholarly
Review: It's hard to choose books like this... seems like a lot to choose from. I finally got it, and began to work through the exercises. It is well written, and VERY thorough. It was tough, as I am not trained in mathematics; I still ground away until I finally 'hit the wall' after about 300 pages. So I wrote a lot of programs, and learned a lot, but I still would not recommend this to those who don't have a nearly university-level math background. I did e-mail one of the authors with a possible erratum I found, and never heard back. Those university professors just don't have any time ;) Having said that, if you can do all the exercises in this book, I salute your brainpower!
