Rating:  Summary: Needs Improvement Review: This book would be better if it had all the answers in the back as opposed to just the odd problems. It gives you problems in the back of the book that it didn't cover very well in the examples. This is the book my school is using so I am stuck with it. You will go nuts with significant figures while trying to learn from the problems. It could use a little more depth. Or maybe even the website having additional "examples" reading material, more problems wouldn't hurt either. I guess the book is okay, but this is just from a frustrated college student who works full time, and has a teacher that just reads from the book. I have 8 computer/internet certifications and this book just confuses me. (Not the material as much as the ommission of certian possiblities/questions/etc) oh well.
Rating:  Summary: My Favourite Technical Book? Review: This is a fantastic book! All the issues and examples are very clear. They have done great work! The only bad thing is that some pictures has many "problems" to be solved, those tasks can be in different pages, so you have to look at two different pages. And when you have to check the formulas also, you may have to look at three or four different pages, that's difficult. Well, this is too large book, some things have been explained too hard!

Rating:  Summary: Needs more supplemental materials Review: We use this text as well as the accompanying lab manual in our introductory course (Intro to circuit analysis). For the most part this book is adequately laid out, with many topics covered as well as practical applications. What is lacking however, is in-depth explanations of the equations - that is, how/why they are using the numbers they are, especially the why. Perhaps a study guide and/or a solutions manual would be a good complement to the text itself. This book assumes too many things, and being an introductory level book, more explanations are necessary.
