Customer Reviews

A very good book, but contains some annoying typing errors

A book with a very application oriented treatment of reliability, based on electronics industries experience. It uses an advanced style of explanation, i.e. assumes that readers have mastered certain topics/knowledge/techniques in reliability. However, prerequisites for reading this book must be clearly stated; i.e. what basics are required, are the basics given in the books enough, etc. Some typos appear in description of table/figure (i.e. table 6.7 written as table 1.7). Also some computational errors appeared in the answers to selected problems. These are indeed small errors, however they detract from a good book's image. Especially for new students in reliability and would-be practicioners, the answers to the problems in the book are very necessary to provide concept/technique mastery and understanding check. Why do not the authors provide answers to ALL problems? One possible thing to add to the contents is the design of reliability experiments, i.e. the general concepts and some examples drawn from some areas of interest (mechanical, electrical).
