The book has lots of diagrams and is designed so that even a person with little electronics background could easily incorporate piezoelectric ceramics into their projects. The math is highschool level, like a cookbook. My book came with a 1 page errata sheet, but even without this I would have no trouble understanding the material because it is so well written and illustrated.
