Teachers should recommend this work of reference to the sophomores and urge them to keep it right on top of their desk throughout their entire academic and professional life. In essence, that is the purpose of these dictionaries, but I have found absolutely no one in my university to at least talk about it let alone possess it. The BRAC University library hasn't procured it even.
I understood the Continuity Equation better and more easily from here than from textbooks of Neamen or Streetman-Banerjee.
