Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
I have this book and the West book. There is not question this book is better. West waves his hands at a lot of problems but never works them out in a detailed way. That isn't the way I learn. This book takes you through detailed solutions so you can better understand the concepts involved. I didn't have time to read the whole book but whenever I was confused by a professor I could look it up in this book and figure the problem out.
