Contains a larger, easier to read two-color format with improved flow between topics.Provides clear explanations that build on the strengths which have made this book a standard for more than 25 years.Includes an introduction to Statistics which is needed for many technical trades and not offered in most similar texts.Presents sufficient material for a very full one-semester course or for two standard lecture courses.
Excellent reference work. Lots of technical info. More than I needed for my purposes, but well written and organized.
Comment on Previous Review
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
I would like to point out and emphasize that the previous review submitted by Jeffrey Butts is actually in reference to the SECOND EDITION. The third edition is completely revised, expanded, corrected, and much improved. Both editons of the book are available, but the third edition is definitely not the same as the second edition and is substantially better.
