Not worth your time!
Format: Paperback
The abstration level of the knowledge presented in this book is mixed and poorly organized, for example, it could leap from high level suddenly into the details of import packages and codes. This book tries to cover a loooot but achieves so little in any specific topic. Sometimes the high level logic is not even consistent, sometimes the low level details contain errors. There are nonsensical sentences, poorly formatted equations, figures should be printed in color to understand but are in black and white. While I may doubt myself of not being able to delve in at the beginning, gradually it is pretty clear that it is the poor quality of this book that drags me and makes me want to finish reading as soon as possible. I cannot believe this quality of writing was generated with the help of AI. This is an evidence that human can write much poorly than AI. All the figures from the cited papers are of poor resolution and quality. I have submitted more than 15 erratas to the publisher. These just cover the obvious mistakes or errors, and cannot cover the poor organization and logic of the book. It's such a waste of my money and time!
