Reviews for Billiards In The Twentieth Century

The Mechatronics Handbook is highly recommended for academic libraries supporting undergraduate or advanced programs in electronics, electrical engineering, computer science, robotics, and related subjects. -Holly Flynn, Mathematics Librarian, Michigan State University Vernon G. Grove Research Library This handbook is a prime example of such a new compilation of basic sciences and engineering knowledge from the mechanical engineering, electronic engineering, and computer and information sciences fields. To this reviewer's view, the editor and his author associates have made an excellent selection of topics to present a good overall view of this new and important field. - CHOICE, September 2002
