Fundamentals of Electric Circuits Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a very fine book. It explains the concepts very clearly and maybe used for signals too, when studying fourier and laplace transforms. The authors do a superb job and make challenging concepts sound easy for the student. Extremely organized and well prepared book.

Engineering Circuit Analysis Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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.

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.

3,000 Solved Problems in Electrical Circuits Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When I first wanted to buy this book, the reviews weren't that helpful. Alot of issues with mistakes and proof reading. My background is one of electronics, I have over 100 semester hours in electrical engineering from a major college. So before you buy this book, let me point out some things.
First, this isn't an introductry book for electronics, If your looking for a guide buy something else I highly recommend The Art of Electronics Anyway back to the review:
This book covers several items which I spent several years learning in college all 4 years. It is filled with integration, and other wonderful calculus and physics formulas. If you are afraid of upper level math, don't buy this. It goes WAY beyond introductry courses,and will not explain how or why.
On the other side of the house. If you have a background in Electronics, heavy in theory. If you are alittle rusty or just trying to revive those long dead brain cells, this book is excellent. Yes there are a few mistakes, but as your working the problem, its very easy to spot, missed decimal places etc. I'm currently using this book to prep for the US Postal Electronics Tech Test. I anticipate this will cover everthing I need, with the exception of number conversions, binary to decimal etc. That might be covered, but first glance I didn't see it.
So in summary, if an Integration sign scares you, or If you have watched "Good Will Hunting" and have never seen the symbols he writes on the mirror, or have never heard of Kirchhoff,vectors, Thev Eq, or even Ohms Law don't buy this. If you have seen or done the above, your pretty safe.
I hope this helps.
