    Not bad for a starter book on the topic. Though a lot of the info could be learned in basic beginner college courses it offers a nice refresher option if you want to blast through it in a couple of hours. He tries to keep it light throughout.

    5.0 out of 5 stars My friend loved this book
    Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2020
    I gave this book to a friend of mine who I thought could use it. He told me it was a game-changer. There’s tons of examples and resources that he can’t wait to apply. He also told me that the author really knows and understands what he’s talking about; that his years of experience really shine throughout the book. It was also nice that it was clear and concise. No fluff, just right to the topic with insightful solutions. Based on his feedback, I’d recommend this book to anyone in engineering or that manages that type of work.

    The author made an attempt to make a decent book on the subject matter. I would say with some of my experience in this field it’s definitely a starter book not a well encompassing book for advance readers. I appreciate the charts and the effort put into the book.
