Description

---

This book has been written with a certain underlying philosophy that comes from years of engineering design which we would like to share with you. Engineers are pretty bright in general, so we've written this book to take advantage of that fact. Our book begins with the basics and examples explained to every last detail. As the book progresses, more and more is left to the reader. We believe this enables faster learning as you won't have to sift through copious and superfluous instructions. We hope you enjoy this material that we've truly poured our hearts into.
