Customer Reviews
Lots of errors!!!!!
I love both the authors deeply as someone who works as a instructors and research.
However, this e-book has many small errors, if I don’t check with the pdf form of the 1st ed. I will be lost forever!!!
I will normally prefer ebook, but this time, I will suggest anyone who would like to have this book, get a hard copy!
For example, equation 6.9. There is a sign of division missing in the equation! changing the meaning of this equation a lot!!
