I'm currently an engineering student and have seen my fair share of technical textbooks. This is one of the worst textbooks I've come across. There are no good examples in the books (the only examples are missing complete solutions) and the chapters are worked through with very simple theoretical circuits with nothing complex to base your understanding off of. The authors also completely neglect units when making calculations, which is a huge problem when dealing with this kind of material. they simply make a calculation and throw in a unit onto the answer at the end.

the major problem with this book is the lack of SOLVED EXAMPLE PROBLEMS. a textbook is no good without step by step explained applications.

overall, this book is a bad excuse for a textbook. if you can, stay as far away from it as possible.

The book came in on time in the good condition. Amazon is one of the best websites ever I've chosen to look for what I need.

The book is organized very well. It's clear, uses appropriate boxes/highlighting, and succinct. It was more explanatory than my teacher was most of the time. Doesn't shirk from doing the math, but not too math-based.

I'm only 4 chapters into this book, but so far i like it pretty well. It seems more readable than other physics texts ive had. It seems like the biggest complaint ive read about is it being too hard, or not having answers. I have every answer in the book, since it comes with p-spice and i can check them. As far as being more difficult than the examples, that seems to be the case in any physics course ive taken, and i've just gotten used to it i guess. I suppose the fact that i have a great teacher helps a lot, but i definitely dont think this book is as terrible as everybody on here is saying. Just a quick word to the post "a stinker", we were assigned problem 2.11, and using p=IV and V=IR, its a simple problem.

I bought this book for a undergraduate University course. The book is extremely thorough in the topics discussed and has plenty of examples. My only complaint is not having all the answer values in the back of the book, this makes checking my own answers diffcult.
