3.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Junior level college text, September 22, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Basic Electrical Engineering (Hardcover)
The first 6 chapters cover the basics of analyzing RLC networks. Chapters 7 thru 10 give a good introduction to semiconductor devices, amplifiers, and analog signal processing. Chapters 11 and 12 are a way too brief coverage of digital electronics (and is fast becoming dated material). Chapters 13 to 16 cover the basic concepts of magnetic circuits, AC motors, etc. Chapter 17 is a hodge podge introduction to some advanced material.

The text requires/uses basic calculus and complex numbers. There are lots of examples to explain each concept as it is introduced. The circuit analysis techniques developed in the first 5 chapters will be used throughout the students career. These chapters are very well laid out, leading the student along from one basic point to the next in a logical manner, and make this an excellent textbook. The sections on semiconductor devices and amplifiers are a little dated, but still cover basic relevant information. An example of where the text is dated is in the section on two-port networks which does not even mention S-parameter circuit models.
