More than that, it uses a lot of words to say so little.

Even a quick scan shows some pretty critical errors. In 76.4

  Two parameters govern its perception:

   • ( ): neighborhood radius
   • ( MinPts ): minimum points per dense region

Or later in 76.7

  In Fuzzy C-Means (FCM), each point (x_i) receives membership values (u_{ik}) in (
                               0,1
  ), satisfying (k u{ik} = 1). The objective is to minimize:

These are not human mistakes. They are categorically different

Also, the math really smells of AI. It has equations but it is like they have no substance. It has the form, but not the feeling. I know all this math and looking through I don't know how anyone could learn from such text. I'm not sure how it could even serve as a good reference. Where are the derivations? Where are the corollaries? Where are the implications? The extensions? The... depth?
