What They're Saying

Critics Review

This book is a deep rethinking of the pedagogy of a subject of much beauty and great depth, that is central to the education of scientists of the future. For the ambitious student it provides a stairway to climb higher. * Divakar Viswanath, University of Michigan *What makes this book timely is the judicious selection of topics and the thoughtful and balanced treatment thereof, whereby the contents are limited to what is appropriate for a one-semester course. The treatment is careful and intuitive rather than rigorous and terse. The diagrams are well-designed and beautifully drawn. The exercises are neither routine nor redundant and build nicely to increasingly challenging levels. * Ashwani Kapila, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute *
