It should have been titled, "All the Mathematics I, the Writer, Missed But Needed to Know For Graduate School," because that's exactly what it is. Do not misunderstand me: it is a good book and covers some interesting topics. However, it's not a book that will prepare you for graduate school. It's more of a collection of mathematical topics that the writer found interesting. (  ) shoesonwrong | Oct 5, 2008 |   no reviews | add a review
