1. This book was so cute & well done it caused me to buy all of the "Math" books for my granddaughter (age 5) and she loves them also!

1. I haven't read this book yet, but I have a signed copy after seeing Jenny Quinn speak at the 2005 meeting of the Northwest chapter of the Mathmatics Association of America. If her written work is anything like her speaking, then this should be a great book. Her combinatorial proofs are an interesting approach to old equations, and she presents them in a very clear manner. A most enthusiastic lady.



2. I was introduced to this book by a talk that one of the authors (Arthur Benjamin) gave at the MAA Mathfest in Albuquerque in August of 2005. The talk was one of the very best mathematics talks that I've ever attended. Everyone in the audience could follow what was going on, and we all left with an understanding of the basic approach to combinatorial identities used in this book. The authors' approach is to prove combinatorial identities by defining a quantity and then obtaining different formulas for that quantity. One formula becomes the left hand side of an identity while another formula becomes the right hand side.
   
   When I read the book I found that it was just as clearly written, with lots of beautiful examples.



3. "Thoroughly engaging... Accessible to a very broad audience... While the theorems covered may not be new to research mathematicians, I would wager that very few of us have seen them proven in quite this way." -- American Mathematical Monthly [http://www.maa.org/reviews/reallycount.html]
   
   I am not a mathematician and I learn something cool and useful from this book every few paragraphs. Highly recommended.



4. The proofs in this book are easy enough for a bright high schooler or even an exceptional middle schooler to understand, while still making use of insightful tricks that keep the solutions far from being obvious.

1. There are so many typos and errors in the book that I can no longer trust anything I look up in this book. I thought it deserved two stars just for the price.



2. It does what it promises: deliver the usual tables that meet basic mathematical needs. Trig, logs, exponents, and some miscellany (a little quaint in the era of calculators). I got it as a home reference for integrals, and it's good enough to get me in the right direction. Given it's intended range, I fault it only for weakness in stats and probability.

   Hey, the price is right. It's nothing special, but not all of my needs are special. For basic math stuff, this may be the book to get if you can't afford the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics.




3. Very broad reference text for engineering and general science; for the price, it's much larger than I had expected, and contains valuable material I have not seen anywhere else



4. No decent scientific library should be missing this book. An excellent desk reference.



5. Print is blurred and often unreadable. lots of information but not what I needed!

1. I got this for our little guy for Christmas. He enjoys the pictures and I look forward to working with him on learning to count with it in the future. He is 18 months old now and wants us to read it to him often.
