This book is fantastic! I read the chapters on symbolic integration and they were very clear, always explaining motivations and giving full derivations for the algorithms described. The level of detail in the proofs is fantastic. This book is very approachable for anyone with an undergraduate-level understanding of algebra and I cannot recommend it highly enough.
