Title: Caveat emptor
Product review: I was completely bewildered by this book. I was seduced by the promise of a gentle introduction to matrix algebra, Fourier transforms, wavelets, etc., but instead found a poorly produced CD with extremely irritating music, and an accompanying book with exact reproductions of the slide show present in the CD. I'm not sure whether the CD was intended to enhance the text or vice versa, but I would suggest that neither really does the job. Perhaps readers who already understand the topics presented herein may find clarity and understanding, but for less accomplished mathematicians such as myself with only a working knowledge of college level trig, calculus and diffential equations, the approach is not intuitive nor does it lead to any understanding whatsoever of these interesting topics.
