Customers say
Customers find the textbook well-suited for self-study, taking them through higher-level mathematics concepts in an active learning setup. The book is easy to comprehend, written in a conversational tone, and keeps readers engaged with its entertaining puzzle-book style. Moreover, it features wildly amusing footnotes and is worth more than its price suggests. However, the exercise quality receives mixed feedback, with some customers appreciating the good exercises while others note the lack of solutions.
