Concise, relying on a short chapter to explain the concepts and then many many problems to reinforce and teach the concepts. Useful for later classes for example problems and a refresher on what might have been forgotten between classes.

This, like the previous version, is a good collection of the topics needed for a basic undergraduate course or review for a graduate course.  An attempt is made to write in a clear and straight-forward style, but there are many passages that appear confusing to uninitiated.  Even graduate students have a hard time trying to interpret some of the statements.  Also, the author's key examples are sometimes not appropriate, and he often mixes the idea of a sample with sampling from a distribution to obtain a sample of a certain size, by referring to samples of size 1.  This is very confusing.  I would think that a good re-write could produce an ideal text.

It was very helpful and It was useful to me. I will continue to use it when I need a refresher.

This is intended largely as a response to the review by mjgrey, above.
Having had the fortune to take the class for which this text was intended with one of the authors, I can say that the order in which material is presented makes a lot of sense - for the way the author chooses to take the class.  Some faculty, especially new faculty, may have some difficulty scheduling their classes around its ordering scheme, and those attempting to use the book to teach themselves the material would probably be quickly lost.
However, it should be noted that the author says as much in his introduction, and suggests skipping around as necessary to fit the topics as they are being introduced in the class syllabus.  If the book is used as it is intended, and the instructor takes a reasonable amount of care, the ordering of topics becomes a much less critical issue.
I have found this to be an excellent volume to turn back to when basic concepts of calculus are called up (as they are time and again in statistical analysis).

There is a 2nd edition of the text, and some schools might be using the 2nd edition.  The 1st edition is essentially equivalent to the 2nd in difficulty, and many of the problems are exactly the same, but not all.

This book offers step-by-step instructions on the problems. However, this book is not used as widely in academia anymore because there have been several new versions released. I recommend this book as a good starter for getting acquainted to chemistry but not as a go-to guide every time the problems get tricky.

There were many problems at the end of each chapter that did not have an example in the chapter.  This was the text for a night class that met twice a week, and in every class, the question would be asked, "How was I supposed to know to solve it like that?"  The instructor agreed on quite a few of them.  Many times, when the instructor clarified the method to solve a problem, he said that the book didn't give you an idea how to apply the examples in the chapter to solving the problem.  This class isn't the easiest to begin with, and the book wasn't a lot of help.

I fetched myself a copy of the book based on recommendation by Medical Student Book.com. Generally the 62 cases presented are useful to Medicine Year 1 and 2 students wishing to consolidate concepts on Physiology. Good supplement to notes and textbooks as after-class practice.

Good review with good progression of practice problems and tests. However, it is a review. Do not expect to learn the concepts for the first time here, but does a great job of refreshing concepts not used in years.

If you are a brand new instructor, it's a good book.. if you have taught seminars, short courses or at the college level for more than a year, not of much use.

This book lacks two very important parts, example problems and solutions to the chapter problems. There is not one sample problem worked out in the entire book, and no explanations or solutions to the problems at the end of the chapters. How are you supposed to understand the problems without one single example?! I hope your instructor gives you good examples in class, because this book won't. That being said, the explanations are OK, and there are some good drawings and circuit diagrams. If you need examples like me, find a different book.

Pros: Examples galore, solid explanations
Cons: Sometimes really dense/wordy

This book covers basic topics really well, but it can be difficult to follow without any background in the subject. I would recommend another book over this one if you're looking for a PDEs text for your personal library/reference, but it's a decent book otherwise.

Great help for the undergraduate review (first half) of a graduate course on Probability and Stochastic Signals and Processes, working through the solutions to similar problems to the homework.

I use this in medical school as a quick reference, but the updated version would be preferable.  The new version is probably worth the price.

it offers well-thought explanations of problems. Sometimes terminology gets in the way of understanding, but for the most part it's a decent book. I'm taking a course right now that uses this book, and Irving is the professor, so it helps that he's able to expound on what he wrote in the book.

A good volume for your library and also for beginners or to remind more experts if they get a little "rusty"

I used this book for a course I taught at the University of Connecticut.  It has a lot to offer, especially for the price.  Sample problem: draw a  bunch of lines across a piece of paper. Can the resulting picture be  colored only in black and white, with no adjoining regions sharing the same  color? Works through examples like this one in excruciating detail,  encourages the reader to sweat through problems, the payoff coming when you  start to see patterns not in the problems themselves, but in how you  approach them. Last chapter consists entirely of problems, with suggestions  on how to attack, and then extend them.
