The book is very well structured with an excellent pedagogical and didactic approach. I really enjoy it. However, although it contains a link to a supposed PDF file with support material, the link site does not recognize the suggested ISBN. Submitting the ISBN of the printed book does not bring any support material either. It is really pity to not be in position to check the answers to the plenty of exercises included in the book. Due to this deficiency I had to restrict the number of stars that I assign. The book in itself would otherwise be worth five stars.
