Everything is stated, not much is explained. The reader gets lost in all the statements and tables. The probelms are annoying and like playing meaningless puzzles. One gets the feeling that the authors want to trick you rather than effectively teach the material. <br /> <br />I wish the authors would have explained all the concepts step by step, but they go over the material again and again in a spiral fashion. I find this approach rather confusing and would have hoped for a more gradual approach of logically building up knowledge. <br /> <br />If you are a detail oriented person you might like this book, but if you are a grand-picture thinker you get terribly lost. The storyline is missing. <br /> <br />I find this book one of the hardest books to follow. I can read general relativity books and solve Einstein's equations, but the way the material is presented here makes Einstein's work sound really easy.

I found the book+manual easy to read and understand and I was able to self-teach through most of the problems. <br /> <br />My book+manual are up for sale if anyone is interested.

I will admit the prices were right and spot on. The orginal shipment was lost and I asked for a reshipment. That was sent and lost as well. I recieved the books 2x after both shipments were found. I was meet with excuses such as, I am sorry that person is not here it is the weekend or I am sorry we can not send you another shipment. I told them I did not lose the shipments they did. They did not seem to care. Also after the books finally came I recieved a phone call within 24 hours telling me to send them back or I will be charged. I told them they were lost and I only just got them. This did not seem to phase them. <br /> <br /> <br />I am not sure I will use Amazon ever again Rating: 1 / 5 I ordered 3 books for my MBA and AMAZON managed to lose the package 2x.
