For 'tis the sport to have the engineer Hoist with his own petar; and't shall go hard But I will delve one yard below their mines And blow them at the moon. - William Shakespeare, Hamlet Act 3, Scene 4

| Reviewer's Comments
I recommend this book as a "required primary textbook." This text attempts to lower the barriers for students that take courses such as Principles of Electrical Engineering, Circuit Theory, Advanced Engineering Mathematics, and Signal Processing. It can do a wonderful job preparing students for further studies while knowing beforehand why the complex mathematics would matter.
