very helpful I'm an engineer, I've been out of school for 3 years and I bought this book for my first grad class. The book itself is like most textbooks... reading it will put you to sleep. However this book was great for learning the material. My professor is extremely hard to understand and not very helpful in lecture. Basically I taught myself the material from this book and passed with an A.
Still not there yet for engineers I bought this book for one of my project and read most of its chapters. I feel that this book may be good for student in engineering major but sure not good enough for engineers.
