The textbook achieves a successful balance between being clear, direct, and rigorous. The pedagogical style of the text is so compelling that reading it parallels the impression of being in the actual presence of the authors as they teach the class. Dr Lisandro Hernandez de la Pena, Kettering University This book holds its own against competitors, and the authors make this text stand out by including additional features and roadmaps that are great innovations.
