It has been 20 years since the last edition of this classic text. Kevin Wainwright a long time user of the text (British Columbia University and Simon Fraser University) has executed the perfect revision—-he has updated examples applications and theory without changing the elegant precise presentation style of Alpha Chiang. Readers will find the wait was worthwhile.
