Good exercises but bad text. I felt like ideas weren’t really presented rigorously but rather as part of examples. This made the book longer than it needed to be imo.
I personally used Judson’s book as a primary text for abstract algebra.

Tbh I didn’t do most of the exercise in this book (perhaps a little above my pay grade as an undergraduate) but there are definitely a lot of them and there were a few here and there I felt comfortable approaching.
I loved the way this book presented new definitions. Instead of just defining a certain property without context, a system was presented and when we came across a new property it was defined rigorously.
The examples in here are fantastic. Lots of info on certain systems and their properties presented in an easy-ish to understand way. Ofc when it comes to dynamical systems it’s good to check what you think will happen numerically for a fuller understanding because some of these properties are pretty hard to grasp just by reading (such as topological mixing, strange attractors, and other things dealing with “almost every point�, denseness, and just generally hard-to-visualize things)
Definitely recommend as a reference for someone dealing with dynamical systems as there are many concise definitions and theorems to cite. Also recommend to someone who just wants some sort of understanding of dynamical systems without really getting dirty with exercises(this is a rare example of a math book where the reading will actually help you learn without doing every exercise) Definitely useful for all levels of math students(my professor made a point that this is a book that will stay with you if you study dynamics)...more

Kernighan's book does an excellent job holding your hand through the process of learning the basics of memory allocation and low level programming. Definitely an essential read for the entry level developer. Also, understanding the contents of this book is more than enough information to pass cppinstitute's CLA certification exam.
4 stars because the book is slightly outdated as far as legal and best practices....more

I’d recommend chapters 1 and 5 (style and debugging) even to the absolute beginner.
The book mostly uses C and C++ in it’s code examples, which is no surprise given the author. The lessons taught can be applied to any language; however, being able to read C syntax is definitely a prerequisite to this book....more

The practice tests are a fantastic study tool but the information in the study guide is terribly presented.
