The text is hard going at times even for someone with a good educational background in these areas but effort is rewarded. There are tests with each chapter with worked answers at the end of the book, and four useful appendices on basic topics of probability, averages etc for those who need some extra grounding.
This book certainly isn't for everyone but if you have a more than passing interest in the topic, it's well worth reading. ( )
