Easy to understand
It's about time someone published a maths book for scientists that doesn't require a first in maths to be able to understand it. This is an ideal book for those in their first years of a science degree.

Good as a refresher, but not good to learn by
This maths book is fairly good in coverage and fairly compressed in its format. That means it is a useful refresher for maths knowledge you already have. But to learn by, it starts on a rather high level. In my personal experience, Stroud's Engineering Mathematics (and its sequel) are much better for first time students, as they approach the student on a low and easily accessible level (albeit they might not be quite as thorough in their coverage).

An Excellent Introduction to Mathematical Methods
This book will be of equal interest to science, engineering and mathematics undergraduates. It does not presuppose any advanced knowledge, while still presenting results at a fairly rigorous level. I think this combination of few prerequisites, clear exposition and good writing is essential -- this is what gives one a good understanding of the subject.
