Query: Not Good

This book was quite disappointing. The majority of examples were linear (which is not the strengh of the use of Neural Networks) especially in the presentation of system identification. The material itself needs to be updated to the current methods. It seems that the authors tried to cover too much material (i.e. Genetic Algs., Fuzzy logic) which resulted in not enough detail especially mathematically.
