Engineering Circuit Analysis

by William H. Hayt Jr., Steven M. Durbin, Jack E. Kemmerly

The hallmark feature of this classic text is its focus on the student – it is written so that students may teach the science of circuit analysis to themselves. Terms are clearly defined when they are introduced, basic material appears toward the beginning of each chapter and is explained carefully and in detail, and numerical examples are used to introduce and suggest general results. Simple practice problems appear throughout each chapter, while more difficult problems appear at the ends of chapters, following the order of presentation of text material. This introduction and resulting repetition provide an important boost to the learning process. Hayt's rich pedagogy supports and encourages the student throughout by offering tips and warnings, using design to highlight key material, and providing lots of opportunities for hands-on learning. The thorough exposition of topics is delivered in an informal way that underscores the authors’ conviction that circuit analysis can and should be fun.

This was the most important book I read for my EE degree. Well written, using an exceptional pedagogic method of a couple of answered questions every few pages of text. It also clarified a lot about calculus, which I was studying simultaneously. Fourier analysis, matrix applications, Laplace transforms. This is the foundation, not only for EE, but for system analysis in general.

Though I'm not finished wit the book as of yet, I can say that this book is very likely the best circuits book I have had the pleasure of studying from. Now I will say, however, that you need a good background in Calculus and Differential Equations in order to understand and work through the practice problems this book contains; trust me they are very difficult. So if you are looking for a book that will allow you to memorize a few equations and move-on, well.....move-on, because this book will not be what you are looking for. But one thing you can rest assured knowing is that once you have completed this book you will have a very good understanding of the How, Why, Where, and What of EE circuit analysis.

you could quickly conclude that book is pretty self contained and self explanatory. At that time I quickly realized, the book is all about Maxwell's four equations.

A gem of a book. Very elegantly the author has explained the basic lessons in Electrical Engineering i.e. from Ohm's Law to Network Analysis. I bought a few technical books in my grad studies and this was one of them.

This book was terrible when i saw, i felt very painful. :(. Unfortunately i had to use this because of the professor,As a senior student Nilsson is better to handle the fundamentals of the electrical engineering.

I only read half of this for university study.
At times i found it confusing...
And at times easy.
It was okay overall.
