[FRIAM] Complexity Explained by Peter Erdi

[Günther Greindl]

Dear Jen,

thanks for the feedback, maybe when you have got first impressions from 
the book you could share them?

I would especially be interested if he also presents new research and 
how the didactic value of the book is (to adopt it for a CS course, say)

Regards,
Günther
