“This is a beautiful book. … it would be fun to teach a course from it and I hope to get that chance. … This book flows so well that I did not feel anything was lacking from it. … I am confident that the many readers of Stillwell’s work will find it satisfying and worthwhile to update their libraries with this edition. Those currently unfamiliar with his work will find this a delightful place to begin.” (Michele Intermont, MAA Reviews, October 18, 2021)
