2.0 out of 5 stars Not enough examples, September 23, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Fluid Power with Applications (5th Edition) (Hardcover)

I am a an engineering student with a gpa of 3.93 (73 hours). I have found this to be one of the least helpfull books I have ever used. The examples worked are at such a low complexity level, that they do almost no good for solving the problems at the end of the chapters. There are entire concepts that are missing explanation and you can only hope that you will have a good enough proffesor to explain during lecture. I do not have that luxury, mine will only go over the illustrated examples in the book.
