What did I learn from this book? Nothing, and I took the class directly from the author! The theory is available in most every other book on the topic, but for most of the problems it is completely useless. Better for graduates specializing in the topic, but if you're looking for an interesting subject as a layman or an undergraduate trying to get a first-time feel for it, avoid this title!
