DESCRIPTION:
Ambitious, but lacking This book is a good primer for anybody wanting to get into electrical engineering or start discovering and understanding electronics. But, it's still difficult to follow, easy to get lost, ie - not a great textbook. The information is all there, but not the most cohesive. It's almost as if it tries to cover everything, but dumb it down for the least common denominator, er, um, student.. Not a very accessible text This book was required for a class I took on Electrical Engineering. I wish I had never bought it.Overall the text seems very complete, but difficult to get into, and relatively useless as a study aid. Normally I prefer my course texts on introductory material to be very explanatory, and hopefully clear. This book is neither. Rather than spell things out in simple terms, the author mak. Better than average, but not the only book for the EE. Matt Kubilus Decent introduction for anyone with a basic understanding of electronics. The text starts off with fundamental rules, ohm's law, kcl, kvl, etc. There is a really nice explanation of how diodes and transistors work on the electron level. Some very good information is here for anyone who would like to know HOW something actually works.This book, however, falters when applying techniques
The second edition of the highly successful Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering is thoroughly expanded and updated. This text is suitable for a variety of electrical engineering courses. A solid understanding of the fundamental principles on which modern electrical engineering is based is also provided. The text is divided into four parts: circuits, electronics, digital systems, and electromagnetics. This edition includes a chapter on circuit analysis software SPICE, with a detailed discussion of the PC version known as PSPICE (from MicroSim Corp.). It can be used as a text for an introduction to electrical engineering for both majors and non-majors or both, or can be split and the various chapters utilized for an introduction to circuits course, a first electronics course, or for a course on digital electronics and logic design.. Numerous drill exercises ha

"Very nice text. The broad coverage is nice for students in later studies.The chapter on SPICE is very helpful."--Perry Wood, Penn State Mont Alto"Beautifully illustrated, very complete text."-Leo Holzenthal, Jr., University of New Orleans
