One of the best out there!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This brief review is related to the 7th edition. I like the layout of this book and its clear presentation of vague concepts. Most important features include, carefully designed examples, how-to-check-your-answer sections, design examples and extensive use of major software packages in EE as tools for solving or double checking answers. I must say I have a master's degree in ee, so I don't know how this book will appeal to beginners.
This book is for skilled Electrical Engineering Students

If you want a book that holds your hand and babies you through circuit theory, than this book is not for you. Mastery of advanced calculus, and calculus based physics is necessary. Having said that, being able to understand what is in this book will set you apart from an EET. You use this book because you want to be an EE. (You know, the guy who is the EET's boss. hehe) This is a well presented book for a skilled enginering student. You will know more about circuit theory than the average joe tech will ever know. Saying you can't understand this book is like saying you can't understand Advanced Quantum Mechanics because it has too much math. Don't be a baby. Just take your 3 semesters of calculus w/ differential equations and 2 semesters of calculus based physics and then and only then will you be ready for this book. When you are done with this book, you will be a certified EE genius :) And tell the EET's that they will be working for you. HEHE.
Great

This book is great for smart people, but it's apparently too much for simple minded morons to comprehend. If you are a smart math and science person - this book is worthy of your superior abilities. If you are a dumb jock or a wannabe intellectual, go back to elementary school and play with yourself some more.
One of the Most complete books on the subject
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
The reason why I consider this book to be one of the most complete books on electrical circuits analysis is because the author combines real life with the mathematical modelling, giving you a complete idea with what you're handling. I definetely believe that this is a book for persons which have a solid foundations in physics and mathematics. It also gives an introduction to the tools that are use in the design of linear control systems and a brief introduction to filter theory and active network analysis methods.
Excellent Book one of the best written lately on circuits.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
The author gave a concise calculus based coverage of electric circuit theory while dazzling the reader with interesting everyday applications. A very well written book with competitive problems. This book should be recommended to beginning engineers. It is not meant for individuals who do not enjoy the calculus background.
