Interesting Title on Amazon, from a reputable publisher also, does anyone have an knowledgeable opinion on it?

Should this book be on the required reading list? Has anyone read it? What educational background does it require to be understood?

Looking at a pdf, it's rather mathematically dense.

Beyond dense.

Equations such as that bring back bad memories for me! I don't know if I'd be damned or blessed if could put that one in plain English!

The book does finally confirm what I'd been assuming when looking at my in-room impulse response;

I don't remember seeing a diagram that explicitly noted the above.

I want this book. Damn, wish it weren't so pricey.

Well, we can live on beans and rice this week.

Where can we see the text of a full review? If that's all he has, it looks no more valid than his reviews of a paint sprayer or of pork jowls. Suspicious.

In terms of looking mathematically dense, I guess it depends on how comfortable people are with equations and scientific principles but people shouldn't necessarily let long or complex looking equations put them off. Don't see it as a string of symbols, try and see it as an algebraic expression of a relationship between parameters and it is generally much less intimidating. I don't know about this book but it is not uncommon for technical books to provide simplified equations most should be able to understand. And even if it is a bit heavy, it sounds as if there is enough for people without having to understand the mathematical bits.

That does not look at all like impenetrable math. I expect infinite series and basic differential equations in any technical textbook.

"Impenetrable math" is the first few pages of Feynman's "Quantum Electrodynamics."

I downloaded the free sample from Amazon. The authors' credentials are impressive and it's published on CRC Press.
It looks to me to be a good companion to Toole's Sound Reproduction, Loudspeakers and Rooms .

As far as math goes. I haven't used a pde since 1983 during my college years.
