The hallmark feature of this classic text is its focus on the student – it is written so that students may teach the science of circuit analysis to themselves. Terms are clearly defined when they are introduced, basic material appears toward the beginning of each chapter and is explained carefully and in detail, and numerical examples are used to introduce and suggest general results. Simple practice problems appear throughout each chapter, while more difficult problems appear at the ends of chapters, following the order of presentation of text material. This introduction and resulting repetition provide an important boost to the learning process. Hayt's rich pedagogy supports and encourages the student throughout by offering tips and warnings, using design to highlight key material, and providing lots of opportunities for hands-on learning. The thorough exposition of topics is delivered in an informal way that underscores the authors’ conviction that circuit analysis can and should be fun.

Not good,
By SuperRevs (Las Vegas, NV) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Engineering Circuit Analysis (Hardcover)
I have both the sixth and seven additions of this book due to my school requirements. Unfortunately, this book goes through rigorous methods to show proofs for almost every equation. The author wastes a lot of time and effort when you could be shown approaches to analyze the circuits, instead of deriving equations. The book offers a few simplistic examples and then expects you to come up with some serious insight and solve end of chapter problems that they left you unprepared for. Fortunately my instructor had a very straight forward approach to the subject which made the class not so dependent on the book. Otherwise I would have never gotten anything out of my circuits classes. I have also purchased a few supplemental circuit books and although none of them stood out as spectacular every one of them presented the material with more clarity.

Terrible Intro to Circuit Analysis Book,
By
This review is from: Engineering Circuit Analysis (Hardcover)
This book would be alright for EE's planning on going to grad school. However, for a lower-division first-time Circuit Analysis class, this book is a nightmare. First, this book has no solutions for odd problems, so there is no perfect way to tell if you are doing the review problems correctly. Next, the example problems are significantly more simple than the problems at the end of the chapter.
You go from solving simple algebraic problems, and then a few calculus problems, then bam you get thrusted into mathematical proofs that most students are unable to solve. The authors also have a nasty habit of tricking you with hard problems, without any apparent means of solving them. The authors present the material in such a way as, to make you feel stupid, "Because you should already know Circuit Analysis, even when it's used for an introductory course". If you have a class and this book is required either run away screaming or be prepared to do an ungodly amount of work.

Engineerign Circuit Analysis,
This review is from: Engineering Circuit Analysis (Hardcover)
One of the better Circuit Analysis books. Schaum's outline is helpful. Note the author makes stupid jokes in the book. And the website for answers to odd problems still has not be completed. Understand that the book has no answers to problems that are not exercises so you might want to get a good professor that can supplement.
