Thomas A. GarrityRecensioni

Overview of mathematics that one should have been exposed to upon reaching Graduate School. Very wide breadth, but little depth to each subject covered. However, Garrity does have a bibliography for further study and reference. It has problems in it, but to be honest, I never passed Calc II, so it was a bit beyond what I could do, but it did have the proofs of a number of things and it showed Stokes' Equations and other things that you would encounter.

Very fascinating, and the bibliography gives me a bit of new reading material. Also, one of the few books that tried to explain Set Theory notation at least a little, so it gains something for that.

If I would sit down with the book and try the problems and focus, I could probably succeed at doing some of them, but I didn't really feel like spending the time trying to solve any of the problems.

I really didn't have any issue with the depth of coverage either, since he mentions in the book that you should have been exposed to this stuff already, so it's more of a reminder or primer than an in-depth coverage.

Anyway, once I understand more of the notation, I would probably read this again.
