Challenging book,
By
This review is from: Engineering Circuit Analysis with CD-ROM (Hardcover)
Good book, tough problems.The chapters themselves are very well written and provide good example problems to help illustrate the various techniques. The problem that I have with this book is the difficulty level of the excersises in the back of each chapter. They are, I think, a bit too challenging for the typical student. Don't get me wrong: of course there should be some difficult problems to challenge us. But there should also be some easy ones along with a few of middling difficulty. This book, though, pretty much slams you with some very tricky stuff right away. I highly recommend using one of the Schaum's outlines (Basic Circuit Analysis) to supplement this book. They seem to provide a more gradual approach to learning the material--giving you tons of practice problems to drive the point home. Overall, a good book. But maybe a few "confidence builders" to start each problem set would improve things a bit.

Terrible,
By
This review is from: Engineering Circuit Analysis (Hardcover)
The book contains left out diagrams, and incorrectly solved homework problems for starters. Also, the book has no solutions to the odd worked problems. Furthermore, the authors tend to give simple examples in the text and then give extremely difficult homework problems at the end of the chapter. Lastly, the book has a very bad and vague explanation for passive sign convention that will leave you suffering for the duration of the text.
If you don't have a good instructor that is willing to fill in the gaps that this book leaves, then chances are you will do poorly in your first circuits class.

What the Engineer Knows and the Technician Doesn't,
By JeffS (Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Engineering Circuit Analysis (Hardcover)
This is not an easy book, and may stump those trying to use it for self-study. Having said this, and with the proviso that you're going to need some calculus, this could be the book for you. This book contains the kind of information that the EE knows and the ASET, and possibly the BSET, don't. This book can't be read for pleasure. It requires careful and thorough study, and working the exercises to test your understanding. But, if you put forth the effort, you will be richly rewarded.
