 A clever book October 23, 2009

I am a applied math graduate student. I found this to be a interesting and compact book.
Fun and challenging September 3, 2009

I have enjoyed going through the problems in this book. Sometimes I would get out a pencil and paper to work through a problem, and other times I would just skip right to the answer. The solutions are well explained and easy to understand.
fun book ! January 18, 2009

-Problems with solutions ! The luxury of solutions to problems in a book is available usually to instructors but with books like this, anyone can smack their forehead and go, " That's how it was done!"
-Contains 56 problems instead of 50 as mentioned in the title and the last six could also be called challenging.
-Highly enjoyable

I don't know what to say. The problems here are really interesting. The problems range from very easy ones to very difficult ones. There are problems on variety of prob topics including continuous prob. Some of the problems are very hard to the point you want to pull your hair out. However, it is definitly the best problems I have seen.
happy with the purchase. January 11, 2007
