Newman discusses the format of the book. He expresses reservations about the division of subject matter between the early chapters, dealing with mathematical concepts familiar to schoolchildren, and the later chapters' more complex concepts. Older children would cope better with the content of the later parts, but would find the style - designed for younger readers - offputting. He praises the accuracy and clarity of the work.
