 beautiful cover! April 22, 2008

I bought 6th edition of this book more than 10 years ago. But the cover of 6th edition has no photograph, it has an pink color. I think this book has cover useful basic of engineering mathematic. But the explanation is very short and difficult to understand. Lucky enough I use this textbook when I was 2nd undergraduate engineering student in which cover topic about Fourier Analysis, Laplace Transform and Numerical Analysis. Until today, I want to analyze intermodulation distortion of fully differential amplifier but I found that the chapters on Fourier Transform and Laplace transform don't have enough basic to take inverse Transform of exact transfer function. Because it has very high order polynomial. It is very useful for me to see examples of realistic harmonic distortion analysis
of fully differential amplifier in the 10th edition. But I think this book is good enough to use as a reference because there are not many books which covers all of the important topics of mathematic in electrical engineering
Decent reference book, mediocre text book March 27, 2008
GOOD:
This book is useful if you need a fairly comprehensive reference book covering many mathematical topics in engineering.
BAD:
Most topics are treated too superficially to be useful as a primary learning text.
STRANGE TARGET GROUP:
If you could only have one math book after you've gone through all your undergraduate engineering courses, this might be a good pick. But that's a silly scenario. Instead, you'll probably be better off with four or five separate books that are focused on their subject.
I don't regret purchasing this text, but I got it very cheap overseas... It's really not worth the current $132 price, in my opinion.
Student Manual February 23, 2008
The book is good. It gives some idea about the questions but the fact is that mainly the desired questions are not solved in these type of Manuals. Still it can help
Disappointed, but it was still useful December 21, 2007
To be honest, I wish I had looked through this book before purchasing it - because I wouldn't have if I knew how few solutions it contained. Most solutions manuals I've owned have all of the even numbered problems, but this one only contains a few even numbered from each section. While the ones included are useful, they are still crammed together in a small space and there aren't enough of them. The explanations of the solutions are very concise, as if they were attempting to work out the problem in as small a space as possible; sometimes sacrificing understanding. Only buy this if you are in desperate need of any help in your class that you can get - it won't help much, but it's still a resource.
 My overall impression is this: it's a great book December 11, 2007

It's exactly what most 4 and 5 star reviews say it is. The only real issue I have that no other review (not even a 1, 2, or 3 star review) mentions is this. The book doesn't provide notes for conceptual pitfalls that can and will arise when reading it. A good example is the word "vector." There are actually 2 types of vectors mentioned: one from the linear algebra camp, the other from the vector calculus school of thought. These two types of vectors are actually quite different. A vector calculus vector almost always refers back to a 2 or 3 dimensional description of the motion or transmission of mass, energy, waves, and particles in a vertical/horizontal plane or in three-dimensional space; whereas a linear algebra vector more-often-than-not represents an arbitrary set of ordered numbers in a 1XN or NX1 matrix that is simply meaningless as a physical vector.
