I found the selection of material interesting and stimulating, in both the selection of general topics and the particular items chosen within each topic. It would provide useful background or supplementary reading for a student progressing from A-level to undergraduate study, where the new emphasis on proof and understanding as oppposed to computation can prove something of an obstacle to many., "A readable, comprehensive resource for transitioning to higher mathematical thinking. A valuable feature is the different types of questions and exercises. Professors will benefit from each chapter's optional application section, offering flexibility for teaching purposes."-- Choice, "A readable, comprehensive resource for transitioning to higher mathematical thinking.
