Review written by: Matthew Ouyang From Oshawa, Ontario Canada
This book does an excellent job of being very precise, and still getting all the major points across. I read through the 4 chapters needed in my course in about 15 hours, and I am a slow reader.

Chapter 3 is more theoretical than other chapters, but it is very approachable. You won't become a math expert after reading it, but it gives you a solid understanding of why everything in later chapters work.

This book has a reasonable number of worked-out examples, but I would have like to see more examples in certain areas.

This book deserves 6 stars!!!
I probably have about 10 book in the field of digital communications, but I have to tell you that Haykin knows how to address the more complicated issues in a direct, simple and concise way. Very good book for any engineer in the need of theory and math!!
