echoman:
this book has too many repeating questions,some of the 2d and doppler images been used more than once!
overall i learn additional knowledge but as an established publisher should not allow this from happening.
this spoil the reputation.
some of the questions are too simple,authors should spend time in setting good quality questions,rather using the name of board exam to make money!
