Wish I'd have known these shortcuts in college!

This is what more educational institutions need - someone who can take a subject and simplify it so that it is easy to recall. I have a BSEE and these topics were always taught from just a mathematical standpoint. The author takes the subject and teaches it in a way that is easily memorable.

Please be aware that the error in the equations has been corrected and all new books are shipping with it fixed. thanks, Darren
I love this book

With the exception of one error on the formula for calculating resistance in parallel it's a great book. While (R1*R2/(R1+R2) is correct, (R1*R2*R3/(R1+R2+R3) is not. The first trick only works for 2 resistors, and the corresponding formulas for Capacitors in series and Inductors in parallel act the same way. Other than that, the book does and excellent job of explaining things. I would recommend this book to any college student who is struggling with Electrical Engineering 101 courses since it does such a good job of presenting the information in a clear way.
Good review of fundamentals

This is a great book because the author is taking basic theory and providing the reader with some good intuitive tools to gain a foothold on how components work. Many textbook authors in the circuit analysis arena (or electrical engineering as a broader area) tend to do one of 3 things; a) Over explain a concept until the reader loses track of what he is doing b) Skip too many steps in showing the derivation of a formula or the solving of a problem. c) Place more emphasis on the mathematics associated with specific problem rather than the problems significance. The author clearly avoids these traps. His text is reminiscent of a bygone era where engineering books actually sought to explain concepts and their significance.
A good book for the beginner...

This book is well written and relatively easy to understand for beginning students or those that would like to refresh their knowledge. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in electronics. This book helped me understand concepts that I struggled with in class and for years after school.
