Negative Positive
Title: disappointing
Review: What a bunch of hype on this book. It's format is so concise as to be practically useless. It seems to be a bunch of class notes cobbled together. Mulitvariable calculus in a book that is only 5 inches across? What a dis-service to the subject. It can barely contain the full definitions for tensor products. Just silly. Lacking examples or much of anything for the reader to bridge the gap his terse prose leaves. A Font so small that indices are lost on some equations. It is no Differential Geometry. The difficulty is not within the subject matter, but with it's meager presentation. Not at all the quality you would expect from this author. God, I hope this isn't "The" book on calculus on manifolds. Not to mention the typos. I never knew that f(a)= f(a)+ f'(a)*h...oh wait it isn't, but f(a+h) is! I guess it was tough proof reading a hundred pages with 10 sentences on each page. Get the cheapest version you can.
Is the review positive or negative?
