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.

I am happy with this book very handy. A lot of data for its size.I can recommend it to any electrical Technician/engineers/Electricians to keep in the office for quick reference on any fomulars or data.Good theory and presantation of information.

I enjoyed this book and it is very helpful as reference material. It is a good companion to other electrical engineering material.

This is an OK book. However I disagree with the order in which lessons are presented. I'm a student in college and i find that the text boot i use has a more logical and organized way of presenting the information. Also i suggest a considerable amount of knowlege of Calculus, equivalent to Cal 2 in college to understand some of the material in it. Nevertheless it does contain possible most formulas that you will need in the job as an Electrical Engineer.
