5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent, concise EE reference,
By E. Angie Neer (California, USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Electrical Engineering: A Pocket Reference (Paperback)
It's been over 10 years since I completed my electrical engineering studies. I was looking for something that would help refresh my memory, and that I could refer to for formulas and graphs, as I jump back in to do my master's degree. This book seemed a little pricey, but compared to the other books out there, this one is the only thing I could find that met all my requirements: compact, sturdy, and thorough, covering all topics of electrical engineering, from analog to digital (I don't care so much about power systems, but that's in there too).
Formulas, graphs, and tables are all clearly laid out and easy to read/understand. No space is wasted with sample problems, which are best reserved for textbooks and test-prep books. Figures are used extensively to depict graphs, circuits, etc., which add nicely to the readability of the sections. The book itself is nice and compact (the size of a medium sized paper back novel), and very well made. It appears to be a sewn book (same binding as for hardcover), and the cover is sturdy and vinyl coated. I see that the earlier edition (Electrical Engineering) is available from Amazon for a discounted price. As far as I can tell (from comparing the table of contents and page numbers), the first 9 chapters are the same. The new edition adds one more chapter - Chapter 10: Electric Machines.
