Reviews

The introductory remarks in this book address the concern that many presentations of mathematics focus so heavily on traditional content that the usefulness of mathematics in other fields can be overlooked. ... the approach is both demanding and thorough, but the brief exercise sets remain focused on providing opportunities for straightforward practice of the principles at hand. ... Summing Up: Recommended. Lower- and upper-division undergraduates. (N. W. Schillow, Choice, Vol. 54 (4), December, 2016)
