Praised for its readability, this comprehensive text shows how the analysis and design of electric circuits are inseparably intertwined with the ability of the engineer to design complex electronic, communication, computer, and control systems as well as consumer products. Throughout, the author presents circuits as the results of real invention and the answers to real needs in industry, the office, and the home.
I completed this textbook after taking two circuits classes. I found this textbook was generally good—it covered most topics that are likely to be encountered in introductory circuits courses and some additional material. The problems were good and there were plenty of them to practice on, albeit a few with mistakes. The explanations were generally decent, but mostly non-rigorous; engineering students rejoice, physics students despair.
