Title: Dry and Fragmented
Review: This book was quite a disappointment. The equations the author throws at the reader are extremely abstract and do not get elaborated. I don't think you will be able to implement any of these algorithms in a language like C++ because many details are missing. Most explanations are not self-contained; they usually go along the lines of "[author] uses this function to do blah blah..."
