This first edition text is for use in the introductory circuit analysis or circuit theory course taught in electrical engineering or electrical engineering technology departments. The main objective of this book is to present circuit analysis in a clear, easy-to-understand manner, with many practical applications to interest the student.
The authors present principles in an appealing and lucid step-by-step manner, carefully explaining each step. Important formulas are highlighted to help students sort out what is essential and what is not. Many pedagogical aids reinforce the concepts learned in the text so that students get comfortable with the various methods of analysis presented in the text.
Review
Summary: good general intro to circuits
Rating: 4
This is as good a circuit theory book as you will find at the moment and covers the subject up to fourier/laplace transforms, 3phase circuits, and 2-ports. Unfortunately all the books in this field are turning into 1000page full-colour monsters. I can't help feeling that if you want a nice cheap, concise intro to circuits, then go for Schaum's Basic Circuit Analysis by O'Malley. You get all the same material and save yourself 15quid!
