What They're Saying

Critics Review

“The instructional material is to the point, with well-considered examples and asides on common mistakes. Good examples of the author’s thoughtfulness appear in the discourses on pp. 5-6 of identifying the hypothesis and conclusion when they are not obvious, on pp. 28-29 regarding overlapping notation, and on pp. 190-191 of the advantages and disadvantages of generalization.” (Zentralblatt MATH 2016)
