My professor was absolutely terrible--he did not speak English. The book gets the idea across very well if you spend some time with it. However, the mathematical derivations are poor. The "pseudocode" is actually the best thing about the entire book as it was extremely helpful when I had to program the algorithms myself. But you can get by with just doing searches on the web--MATLAB codes for all the algorithms are easily obtainable via google.
Mental note: Out of all the engineering textbooks I have set my eyes on in the last 3 years, this has the MOST annoying cover.

My professor required the use of this textbook while taking his course but I have had many issues with it. There are many extensive topics touched on in the text but sample problems are few and far between leaving much to be desired when trying to learn each topic based off of poorly written explanations. The problems at the end of each chapter are not very clear on what is being asked of you and the absence of answers to these problems at the back of the book, like most textbooks, makes knowing if your getting the correct answer or not impossible without searching online for a solutions manual. I would not recommend this book.
