I like the approach of this text. The authors lay down a theoretical background for the topic followed by practical examples. This is exactly what an engineering textbook should accomplish.
Aiman Kuzmar

The coverage of topics and the exposition of fundamentals are clear and precise, and they are balanced with excellent choices of high quality and appropriate examples in all chapters.
