Optical Fiber Communication Systems with MATLAB and Simulink Models (Optics and Photonics)

The scope is broad and fairly deep, which is good. The MATLAB approach is very nice. However, the book (at least the first 3 chapters) are absolutely atrocious. (I have yet to get beyond Chapter 3.)Grammatically, it reads like the transcript of an interview. Pro tip: This is a bad thing. I have, without exaggeration, read very poorly self-published novels with better grammar.Axes of graphs are routinely unlabeled and undescribed. Figure 2.2 on page 21 was especially bad: No axis labels, no numbers at all on the u-axis (or x-axis), "solutions" on the figure that have no explanation at all, and a description that is completely useless. It literally states "The curve indicated by _______ denotes the expression v= u tan u; ... denotes v=u/tan u; and ..._ denotes V^2 = u^2 + u^2." Let me stagte unequivocally that "______," "...," and "..._" are not valid figure descriptions in any situation. Ever. Furthermore, the second equation ("...") is not graphed in the figure, and the third ("..._") is a typo. There is actually even more wrong with this one figure, but I think you can get the point.Hopefully the book improves, but these first three chapters have the feel of a brand new operating system that is sold with known bugs in order to meet a deadline.Professors, as a graduating student in engineering, I ask that you not inflict mass confusion and misinformation on your students. Please wait until a better update comes out.

I bought the kindle version and it did not work with my kindle or kindle cloud reader.... so 1 star.
