|
The author's guiding philosophy in writing this book has three elements: to present basic concepts to readers in a general setting, to show how the principles of electrical engineering apply to specific problems in their own fields, and to remove frustration from the learning process. Emphasizing the basic concepts of the field, this book covers circuit analysis, digital systems, electronics, and electromechanics. This book develops theoretical and experimental skills and experiences in the following areas: basic circuit analysis and measurement, first- and second-order transients, steady-state ac circuits, resonance and frequency response, digital logic circuits, microcontrollers (68HC11), computer-based instrumentation, diode circuits, electronic amplifiers, field-effect and bipolar junction transistors, operational amplifiers, ac and dc machines, and more. For engineers or any other professionals who need a solid foundation in the basics of circuits, digital systems, analog electronics, and electromechanics.

This is possibly the worst textbook I've ever come across. Vague explanations and terrible examples do nothing to prepare you for end chapter excercises. What's worse, there are no answers in the book at all, so even if I think I've figured it out, I have no way of knowing.
Anyone who wants to learn something should definitely not buy this book. (Review Data Last Updated: 2008-11-29 10:04:34 EST)

It does not seem that many people like this book. I used it for a sophmore level analog circuits course at my university. I found it to be an excellent text and very helpful in understanding electrical engineering. This text is designed to be read with a paper and pencil in hand. It is not a sit down and understand it kind of book. It requires some sincere and dedicated study, as the topic demands. It presents a number of difficult problems to help stretch the analytic capabilities of the student. It also comes with some very useful software. It isn't the best text book I have ever seen but it is close.

I had to get this book because my school required it but if I had the choice I would look for a better book. This book has no answers in the back and a select few on the book resources. The example problems are not very helpful and the book is confusing in almost every way.

Want to learn electrical engineering? Sit in a chair and do absolutely nothing for 10 hours. You won't learn anything, but you will learn more than what this book has to offer.

This book is merely a superficial survey of circuits; it takes the fun out of an interesting area. Look elsewhere for real understanding.

I am required to use this text for an introductory EE course for non-EE majors at my university. The text is at times nearly cryptic (especially FETs), does not give enough examples, and unfortunately most of the problems in the book do not have answers (some are online.) And, in general, I feel unprepared academically to answer the end-of-chapter problems after reading the chapter and doing the (very few) examples. I have done online searches on some of the subjects in this book and come across free webpages with FAR better explanations. If you learn by doing problems, don't waste your money here.

The course this book is used for is very difficult, and there should be at least every odd answer in the book. You try to study and you don't know if your getting the right answer because the answers are not listed in the back of the book.
