Report

`Well written, well illustrated, and with numerous references, this book is recommended for libraries serving academic programs in engineering and computer science.'
Choice
`Few authors can have succeeded so well in practising what they preach...Netravali and Haskell have compressed a vast amount of data into a single volume and the human task of decoding it is not unduly daunting.'
Nature
`This will no doubt be the authoritative reference on these matters for some time to come.'
