Recenzje

I have decided to use this book as a core text for a basic module in the first year of BSc and Higher National Diploma engineering courses. This text is suited in pace, content, range of well-chosen examples, etc., for students needing a high level of support., Dr John Baylos, Nottingham Trent University, UK
