Buy it. Well worth persevering to get a glimpse of Higher Mathematics.
Covers a lot of maths showing how the topics are interconnected with ample opportunities"to do things" . Every topic explained as simply as possible without the need for any advanced knowledge. More detailed proofs at the end of the book. Due to the nature of the topics you may need to re read the chapters (several times) but this will be very rewarding to get an insight to higher dimensions ( and higher maths). Topics are presented in a humorous manner.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
