From space station photo cells to superconducting electromagnets to electric shark control fences, readers see first hand how the material in this book relates to actual problems faced by engineers today. This brings the subject to life like no other book!
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.
