Summary: a great book for slackers
Comment: A great overview of the mathematics needed for electrical engineering (and probably other areas of engineering too). Reading this text has taught me enough to get by in all my introductory graduate level courses. More importantly, it covers enough that I can look up and understand something on any topic which isn't really covered in detail in this text (which is all of them).
I wouldn't recommend this textbook for someone who has a strong background in engineering mathematics, as it only provides a basic overview of the topics covered.

Summary: Generally decent, never excellent
Comment: I recognize that this is the "bible" for engineering math, but I never found it stellar for any single topic. Its treatment of simple topics such as first and second order ODEs and linear algebra was certainly satisfactory, but when more advanced topics are presented there is simply too little coverage. I found it particularly weak in the coverage of PDEs and series solutions of differential equations.
In general a simple presentation of the material is made, and a simple example is given, but you never understand the guts of the process, so when a slightly more complex problem arises you don't know quite how to proceed. The simple example will work out magically that X and Y converge instantly, but then you try to work a problem where X or Y are different and you were never given enough information as to determine which one is the driving part of the process.
Tolerable text, and I understand why its used given its broad scope, but I second the "jack of all trades, master of none" review. You're better off buying three texts that actually present the material well than one that does it poorly.

Summary: Worthless
Comment: This is one of the worst books I have ever seen on engineering mathematics. I tried to refer to it numerous times during my M.E. Masters program and found it worthless every time. There HAS to be better books on engineering mathematics - HAS to be.
