According to the Fog, Fry and Flesch formula, the readability of this book is at the level of the University and even it is appropriate for the higher levels. 2. Due to the very much difficulty of the material, the textbook could not be used independent of the teacher. 3.

The readability of the mentioned textbook measured by Fog, Fry and Flesch formula correspond to each other to a great extent. |
