Title: Only good as a sketchy reference for those who already know the material
Product review: This book only seems to cover very high level concepts. Then, the end of the chapters contain problems (that our professor loves to assign) that only vaguely relate to the material discussed in the chapter. Several problems involve numerical calculations using formulas that you simply have to magically form out of thin air. No examples of how to work these problems are given.Also, the book's general explanation of concepts is absolutely horrible. They love to "explain" what they are talking about by providing a chart/figure/diagram labeled with numerous acronyms (that are rarely defined very well) that might as well be cave drawings because they describe these complex pictures so vaguely.I despise this book, and because of it, I despise the related class.
