Textbooks are often boring, dry reads. This, on the other hand, is one of the most engaging textbooks I've ever read. The explanations are crystal clear, the examples are creative and captivating, and there is even some witty, "groaner" humour in here. An excellent introduction to an often intimidating subject that requires little math background to understand.
