Review :
"The quantity and quality of problems is excellent! There is also a nice range of problems that include basic, straightforward applications; as well as challenging problems that require students to synthesize ideas from several sections. I like the Kaufmann/Schwitters text so much that I've not even looked at another text lately." "This textbook is one of the most pedagogically sound texts I have seen. The ordering of topics is logical and sequential, which was one of the biggest draws for our department in the selection of the text."
