Review:
I have used this book for two years now and I really like the fact that I can give students a good solid introduction to the concepts without overwhelming them with the larger, more difficult texts I have used in the past.
I found the end-of-chapter materails to be very good in tems of both quality and quantity. The exercises and problems are thorough in demonstrating the objectives and in providing multiple opportunities for practice, application, and reinforcement of those objectives.
The end-of-chapter materials are great. The questions are very helpful for studying. The exercises and problems are plentiful.
