Summary: CordFriebe et al. Has anybody read this book?

I am wading through this tome for the second time. Was wondering what others whom might have read it thought.

Did you read it in German or English. I think the translation has some awkward usage that makes it difficult to follow in some places.
 
I've glanced over it in the German version, and I'm not sure that it's the translation making the language awkward in some places. SCNR.

English, of course. I don't understand German.

By looking around, it seems like Dr. Hassani's books are great for studying "mathematical methods for the physicist/engineer." One is for the beginner physicist [Mathematical Methods: For Students of Physics and Related Fields] and the other is [Mathematical Physics: A Modern Introduction to Its Foundations] for the advanced undergraduate / grad student. I'm a sophomore undergrad and I have taken up the standard calculus sequence (~3sems) and ODEs. I want to self study ahead in mathematics...
