2.0 out of 5 stars Not good as a stand alone text, January 12, 2011
By

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Mathematics: The Man-Made Universe (Paperback)
I liked this book and I hated this book. If I were reading this book for my own enjoyment or in conjunction with a more formal text then it is an interesting and informaive read...even enjoyable at times. If you are in a class that uses it as the sole text then you will have to rely on the professor to fill in the blanks which may be a bad thing as it was in my case. I had the version with the green cover and it's contents are totally in black and white, the graphics are horrible in many cases and do not reproduce well if making copies. Not a good text for a course but a great book for personal enjoyment.
