Customer Reviews:
Not necessarily a beginner's guide. January 3, 2007 Eivin Brudie (Anchorage, Alaska) 2 out of 5 found this review helpful
This is an easy to follow guide for the beginner. You don't have to know calculus to follow the math. I daresay it could be a useful review for the more sophisticated reader.
