Have seen all 5 star reviews above, I picked up this book from school's library.After skim through it, I don't think I can finish it.well, maybe it is "well" written, but what I am looking for is easy-to-understand, hands-on book which can give me examples of how to attack real problems. This book doesn't provide any of that for me.Maybe because it is written by two math professors? and I don't know why it receive all 5 star reviews.
