This book is not comprehensive and doesn't explain things well at all. 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. (

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0521797071, Paperback)

Few beginning graduate students in mathematics and other quantitative subjects possess the daunting breadth of mathematical knowledge expected of them when they begin their studies. This book will offer students a broad outline of essential mathematics and will help to fill in the gaps in their knowledge. The author explains the basic points and a few key results of all the most important undergraduate topics in mathematics, emphasizing the intuitions behind the subject. The topics include linear algebra, vector calculus, differential and analytical geometry, real analysis, point-set topology, probability, complex analysis, set theory, algorithms, and more. An annotated bibliography offers a guide to further reading and to more rigorous foundations.
