The narrative is even livelier and less textbook-like than before. Remarks and asides link the topics presented to the real world of students' experience. Some material from the earlier editions has been discarded in favor of more exercises, and Devlin has added a new introductory chapter on the nature of mathematics - one that motivates readers and sets the stage for the challenges that lie ahead."--Jacket ER -
