Too complicated to use as a tutorial, and too simple to use as a reference. This book tries to be both and does a poor job of it. Buy this book if you absolutely have to (like I did, for a class at the U of MN); otherwise I'm sure there are other books out there that can do a better job.
P.S. - I found at least one typo in chapter 1. Can you find it? :-)
