Engineering Circuit Analysis

This book takes too much for granted, and has far too many errors. It is the required text for Circuits I, and II at my college. We are only on chapter 5, and half of the class has dropped due to frustration. In chapter two (Ch.1 for practical purposes,) we were so lost that we got the help of a physics grad student I know. Without the solutions, he was lost on several of the problems. We did eventually get through them, but this gives you an idea of what I mean.The book skips many steps in its examples, leaving the student lost and annoyed. They seem to assume that we already know these techniques fluently.We have found so many errors in the homework that I cannot begin to count them all. This is especially true of the solutions manual.If you must use this book, pray that you have an excellent instructor who can (and will) fill in the blanks left by the authors and get the solutions any way you can.I could go on...

Horribly written book, with no answers in the back of the book to check if you are working problems correctly. Assumes you know how to work problems, even though you are reading the book to learn those concepts. Not enough explanation on key concepts, and does not really define any key terms.

It is a good book. The chapters are clear and they provide plenty of examples to back the concepts. It's a good read and you won't get bored or too confused by it. I do think that they could have been more complete and more mathematical on the Laplace and Fourier transform chapters. Those are very mathematical ideas that need to be treated carefully in a rather mathy manner, rather than trying to be too physical about them. Those integral transforms are not necessarily the most intuitive ideas for most electrical engineering students.

This book was required of my circuits class. It's explanations are pretty good and the diagrams are good too, but it's hard to mess up circuits. The one thing I truly hate about this book is that it does not have any answers in the back. I would really like to know that half of the problems that I am doing are correct, so that is very frustrating. Overall, an OK book, but it would be a great book with answers to odd or even numbered questions in the back.

This textbook provided very little assistance in my electrical engineering class. You have to memorize a lot of information but there is little background on where the numbers came from or concrete real-world situations where they apply. There could have been less focus on cover art and more focus on thoroughly developing the material.

Book is brand new, as described. It arrived earlier than expected and saved me around $50 instead of buying from my bookstore.

Got here within the expected time, no problem. I am a satisfied customer. I just needed this book for class.

Received the book right on time as told. Book is in good condition and will never hesitate to recommend a friend. I really love it for the price I paid for.
