This review is from: Circuit Analysis: Theory & Practice (Hardcover)

This book takes alot of very hard topics to get your mind around and makes them very easy to understand. The book is good to know cover to cover and all the information in it can be used anywhere from the feild of computer's to electrical distribution. It's a great book to give you a solid basic understanding of electricity and how it's used.

This review is from: Circuit Analysis: Theory and Practice (Hardcover)

This is a well written and thorough book, and does a good job in teaching the basics of transistor circuits. It would be good if the book included a CD with excel spreadsheets with example problems. Working with the circuits in excel helps to improve intuitive understanding of a somewhat complicated subject. Book is a bit pricey, but worth it.
