Some parts, mostly the initial chapters, are very basic in my opinion, but it is an excellent example of a book which can be read fruitfully by people with varying levels of knowledge. I think that even someone without a mathematical background can be able to understand it. Petzold surely deserves credit. Thanks for the link then, I hope to give it a look during the weekend.
