ISBN:076680626XBook Description
The mathematical foundation and the practical application of circuit theory in this highly readable book will prove invaluable to students enrolled in electronics engineeringtechnology curriculum and professionals alike. This one-of-a-kind text provides comprehensive coverage of circuit analysis topics, including fundamentals of DC and AC circuits, methods of analysis, capacitance, inductance, magnetism, simple transients, and computer methods. Hundreds of step by step examples lead the user through the critical thinking processes required to solve problems. Two popular computer simulation packages, OrCAD PSpice Version 9 and Electronics Workbench are integrated throughout the book to support "what-if" situations. With the Online Companion, users can access a web site that contains RealAudio sound-clips that present more in-depth discussions of the most difficult topics covered in each chapter./p>

Good book considering the material being covered
I find circuit analysis very boring.
But using a decent book makes the task of learning the material that much easier.
The book is quite clear and does a good job of explaining all concepts. I did however have trouble with the flow of the chapters - the examples we're jutted into the middle of the reading space which annoyed me when trying to read about something fully before delving into the examples.
I also found the problems in the back were somewhat harder than examples given in chapters... but its still a worthwhile book.
Not that good
Honestly, this book covers all the topics, but doesn't explain techniques on problem solving some of the circuits. The examples are not that well, and the author leaves our many steps in the worked out problems.
Buy this book if ur not in an electrical course, and just want to read the theory behind it. But not if you want to learn to work our problems on top of the theory.
There are books out there that do well in both aspects that I have discussed.
