Good book but students need more quantitative background.
1/22/2008
This book takes time to adjust to the crowded typesetting first. Then it gets more interesting as you read more of it. The authors know the subject in depth as well as breath. One problem I have with my students is that many of them do not have the quantitative background required of the book, but the level of the book is what we should aim for in the future. We have to raise the level of our education. The book is well written except for some expected typos for a new edition.
