Review
I am very impressed with the graphics, illustrations etc. but the strongest feature is the quality of the examples and the problems. Good problem sets, excellent explanation, vast coverage. This book is thorough. The text is well written and is clear. The chapter summaries are concise and helpful.
The material covered is important and possesses sufficient depth (and options for instructors to go deeper – such as analysis of non-symmetric cross sections). I like the use of tables (in some cases – such as in Fig 7-32) to neatly compare and describe the differences between approaches (although there could be many more).
The examples are well annotated and help with student comprehension. There is nice breadth and depth in the content and the problems, with a nice combination of theoretical and practical content.
