Used as a textbook in a course. It was ridiculously convoluted, not due to the subject matter, but because would say something in one way, and never explain it in a different matter, so if that sentence was not clear enough - too bad because that was all there was.

Where does impulse turn to analysis?

This was a textbook for one of my courses. It's got great diagrams, but the text is a bit dry and it needs a new edition. Still interesting material, just not presented in the most interesting way.

I will use this book once again for my research topic at school.
