To be honest, I wish I had looked through this book before purchasing it - because I wouldn't have if I knew how few solutions it contained. Most solutions manuals I've owned have all of the even numbered problems, but this one only contains a few even numbered from each section. While the ones included are useful, they are still crammed together in a small space and there aren't enough of them. The explanations of the solutions are very concise, as if they were attempting to work out the problem in as small a space as possible; sometimes sacrificing understanding. Only buy this if you are in desperate need of any help in your class that you can get - it won't help much, but it's still a resource.

The book is good. It gives some idea about the questions but the fact is that mainly the desired questions are not solved in these type of Manuals. Still it can help

Only a few problems per chapter are explained/solved. Not worth the money. Really a paltry manual

GOOD:
This book is useful if you need a fairly comprehensive reference book covering many mathematical topics in engineering.

BAD:
Most topics are treated too superficially to be useful as a primary learning text.

STRANGE TARGET GROUP:
If you could only have one math book after you've gone through all your undergraduate engineering courses, this might be a good pick. But that's a silly scenario. Instead, you'll probably be better off with four or five separate books that are focused on their subject.

I don't regret purchasing this text, but I got it very cheap overseas... It's really not worth the current $132 price, in my opinion.

I bought 6th edition of this book more than 10 years ago. But the cover of 6th edition has no photograph, it has an pink color. I think this book has cover useful basic of engineering mathematic. But the explanation is very short and difficult to understand. Lucky enough I use this textbook when I was 2nd undergraduate engineering student in which cover topic about Fourier Analysis, Laplace Transform and Numerical Analysis. Until today, I want to analyze intermodulation distortion of fully differential amplifier but I found that the chapters on Fourier Transform and Laplace transform don't have enough basic to take inverse Transform of exact transfer function. Because it has very high order polynomial. It is very useful for me to see examples of realistic harmonic distortion analysis
of fully differential amplifier in the 10th edition. But I think this book is good enough to use as a reference because there are not many books which covers all of the important topics of mathematic in electrical engineering
