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.

Schaum's Outline of Basic Circuit Analysis Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)BASIC CIRCUITS ANALYSIS - 2nd Edition - O'Malley
Not a bad book for students confronting analog circuit analysis for the 1st time. The book should also provide a comfortable review for someone who has been away from the subject for awhile
It is obvious that some thought went into this work. The book is without calculus, but the EE student should appreciate the crisp & clean presentation & find it a good companion to a more advanced course. It is often the insight & approach to solving these basic analog circuit analysis problems that are most important at this time & this book should help in that regard. As opposed to many technical books by this publisher, I found few errors; however I have not worked many of the problems - which are numerous. The book follows the Schaum Outline format: bare-bones introduction of a subject with some of the meat contained in the problems. This can result in one needing another sentence or two in the text to fill a hold, as in the chapter on Phasors, for example.
I do think the PSpice circuit analysis is over played a bit. The author does introduce the old MS-DOS text based system (with little explanation) where circuit node files must be written, compiled & run. I suspect that since Windows 95 & the wide distribution of PSpice 8.0 with the schematic capture front end, these more recent & useful features would now be in use in most institutions & work places.
However, the book is well worth the price & covers most of the subjects usually encountered in a 1st semester course of beginning analog circuit analysis plus a good introduction to Op-Amps. I recommend the book.

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.
