The Most Lucid and Comprehensible Book on the Subject

Jon Stewert has produced in this small volume what I consider the clearest, least recondite, tome ever written about the subject. Professor Stewert has a gift for explaining the reasoning and intuition behind each and every equation and function covered, and he mannages it while not ommitting an explaination of every major topic of the discipline. He explains both the hardest and easiest of matters with equal skill and equal success. Neither the novice nor (as I had been) the unenlightened old-hand will be dissappointed.
