Customer Reviews

a selfcontained course

This is a classical text for student, but it gives many hints about modern commercial design methods. The maths involved is very advanced and well set out. Worked examples are very useful since many are from post examination papers (always a much needed reference). Numerous line illustrations are provided, being very accurate, clear and detailed. They are the most valuable feature of this volume.
