 Required for Class September 23, 2008
This is one of the worst books I have ever used. The examples given in the book are not explained so unless you are the teacher or have prior knowledge to the subject matter you are just lost. I find myself using google for help more than this book.
Solutions manual minus the solutions September 19, 2008
I have not purchased many study guides/solutions manuals in the past, but this one has to rank among the worst. First off, there is no study guide in this thing. It has the chapters broken down by sections, but there is not really any information to augment what is in the textbook. It simply goes right into solutions for the problems at the end of each section. Although I would prefer to have a study guide supplement to the text (since that is what I payed for and thought I was getting), I have to say that I would be okay with just the solutions if they were all actually there. But no, that is not the case. Only solutions to selected problems are given, and from what I have seen there is only one solution provided for a given type of problem. This is aggravating, because some problems may be of a similar type but different difficulty level. Making matters worse, only solutions to odd numbered problems are provided. I understand that the authors probably did this to prevent students from buying the solutions to homework problems, since many professors like to assign even problems because there is no answer provided in the textbook. However, since you can usually figure out how to solve a problem if you know what answer you are working towards (hence the reason for professors assigning even numbered problems), having solutions to selected odd numberd problems is just not that helpful. So, I have decided that this thing is useless and a complete waste of money. Don't buy it!
 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.

Only a few problems per chapter are explained/solved. Not worth the money. Really a paltry manual
