I looked through a few pages (like Amazon allowes) and the book seems to be rather general, not very technical, or deep. The Matlab examples supplementing the book that Chang has on his web page are definetely very weak (very very weak!), so I started wondering if this book will be of any actual value. Did anyone else have a similar impression? Other opinions?
