Reviews

[Nance]

It's more than a bit dry, and the explanations of some of the problems aren't as clear as I'd like.

[Trent Stockwell]

Tough to get into... I doubt it gets better.
edit: It doesn't. Crappy to the end. Something about logs and inequality. Not really sure. It does talk about a Matrix which was a really cool movie, so it wasn't all bad.
