Well, the book you suggested seems to be extremely popular with the
engineers at the university, so I can't say that I've had the luck to have a
look at it yet, however, seeing how you were kind enough to even provide me
with the page, I don't think I'll have to worry too much. I'm still trying
to prove this on my own, and I am getting closer, but I think I'll probably
manage to get a hold of that book before I actually figure it out. So, as
they say, przepraszam for the delay.
Pozdrowienia z zimnej kanady
