Review:As a professional LSAT tutor/blogger in NYC, I found this book to offer simple advice on problem solving and logical thinking. It's useful because it gives you a framework to identify and analyze the relationship between evidence and conclusion.

The book gives you some questions to ask yourself about any Logic Game or Logical Reasoning stimulus.

When to read it: Before you begin studying or when you need a break. Read more

Review:A number of people may bring out a number of axiomless 'proofs' in refuting this work, which is fine; GEB:EGB treads upon feet firmly planted in the grottoes of philosophy departments. (The word "discredited" is the alarm call of these philosophers, as if fads are beautiful enough to determine truth.)
Whatever the case may be, this is a very interesting book. Take a look at it in the bookstore, then buy or order it from Amazon if you find that you like what 'interesting' can mean. Read more

Review:Wow, just wow. I can't recommend this book enough

A few months ago, I decided to go back to school (specifically for a master's program) and started looking for a text that could help me review all of the algebra I'd forgotten (in preparation for reviewing all the calculus I'd forgotten).

I was basically looking for something that A) would give me a broad understanding of all of the important Algebra topics I need to know and B) wouldn't baby me or throw too much at me in one go. W... Read more

Review:Even with amusing illustrations, this is still a tough topic. As a former computer programmer, program analyst, etc., I was intrigued by the idea of an illustrated book on fallacious reasoning written by a programmer, but it's not as simple and easy as it sounds. The order of presentation of each of the fallacies was sometimes confusing in that some examples of faulty reasoning referenced in the explanations had not yet been introduced. Assumes readers have previous knowledge/familiarity with... Read more

Review:I strongly recommend this book to anyone who is taking Calculus. Each problem is explained step by step and the formulas are constantly reminded. There are a wide range of problems from easy to difficult which makes learning gradual and permanent. The writer has a good sense of humor and is a good teacher. Read more

Review:this book and the math department at OU in general is over rated. they do not explain things very well, and they treat it as though they are the only school that has a math department. this coming from someone who is good at math and doing well. Read more

Review:Admittedly, I haven't read the apparent king "Introduction to Algorithms".

But Skienna's approach is very digestible. I really enjoyed the writing and the concentration on explaining the concepts instead of vomiting up a wall of greek symbols. I would have loved to actually have taken a class from this guy. Read more

Review:The textbook convey's the lessons well and has very good examples but sometime I get slightly lost when i see the order of the lessons. However that is because people learn at diffrent rate for some concept. This book is still very good for the individual who study's alone. Read more

Review:I recently purchased this book from Amazon and I was very pleased with the prompt delivery and reduced price compared to the school bookstore price, however I am not without complaints. I understand that this book commands a hefty price tag, it's huge! What I don't understand is why we are in the ninth edition of printing. Have there been that many advances in this field of study to require a new edition every couple of years. As far as I can tell it is just an excuse to sell new books; very li... Read more

Review:This book is pretty descent. The only reason that I bought it was for a class and the teacher said he'd use another book of the University let him but that this one was "ok. It is not good or bad, but mediocre." Read more
