Review by Choice Review
This book, written by one of the most distinguished scientists in the field of neural networks, fully lives up to the expectations one has for a work by such an eminent authority. Anderson provides a thorough introduction to all aspects of neural networks, making this book an excellent book for introductory studies at the undergraduate or beginning graduate level. A noteworthy feature is the appealing style of Anderson's writing and the pleasant way in which he fully and clearly explains the required mathematics. Because of these characteristics, the book would be very useful for general readers as well. Another special feature is the way the author integrates the engineering, psychological, and neuroscientific aspects seamlessly. Thirdly, the balanced critiques of the limitations as well as strengths of neural networks adds considerably to the value of the book, and the account in the last three chapters of the author's research would interest all researchers. Overall, the book is rated a MUST for libraries of all academic institutions as well as general libraries. All levels. R. Bharath; Northern Michigan University
