4-0 out of 5 stars Adequate
You can learn E&M for the first time only once.I took my first course on E&M in the Physics department.We used the book by Purcell.It was intuitive, visual, engaging almost poetry.Then I took my next semester in the Electrical Engineering department.We used Hayt.It was mundane, pedestrian, just the facts madam.And yet I learned from it.Since then I've picked up half a dozen introductory E&M texts.But I go back to Purcell for understanding and Hayt for engineering help.But I've looked at those other books and I don't think any of them would have been any better.So that earns Hayt a solid 3 stars.All these books discuss skin effect, but only Hayt discusses the effect of skin depth on inductance.For that, it gets an extra star.

1-0 out of 5 stars Bad selections
This book decides to highlight the most useless forms of common electromagnetic equations.It will lead you to solve problems in a cookie cutter fashion and never learn electromagnetism.

2-0 out of 5 stars About the worst book on the subject!!
I have more than 5 books on this subject. I am a self studier, I read a few books on each topic. I never found any useful information from this book. This book don't seemed to go into detail of each subject, just give the formulas. If you use it in school, good luck!! If you study on your own like me, get some other books like Cheng's.

1-0 out of 5 stars Absolutely terrible.
I'm an EE undergrad student and I have to struggle to use this book on a weekly basis. This book lacks sufficient examples, doesn't clearly derive the equations it uses, and worst of all uses TERRIBLE wording in explaining concepts, typically making them more complicated than they already are.

DO NOT PURCHASE THIS BOOK! "Oh well I have to, for my class." No, you don't. Get the homework problems from a friend or Google Books. Then do yourself a favor and buy the book by Ida, that book is fantastic. It explains things clearly, telling you why certain methods are preferred, and it has examples that cover different parts of each concept.

Worst book ever.

5-0 out of 5 stars Very good book
There are lot of books on undergraduate electromagnetics. This would bein my list.The books I have and recommend are
1) D.K Cheng
2) Hayt and Buck
3) Ulaby
4) Edminister - Schaum's outline electromagnetics.
5) Spiegel - Schaum's outline vector calculus.
6) You should use Finney and George - calculus along with these books.

The book you should avoid is one by Kraus!!.
If you want to master undergraduate electromagnetics, you should have the 6 books!. There are people who complain about (1), (2) and (3). This is because their mathematical background is not strong. So I recommend (4), (5) and (6) to be used along with (1), (2) and (3).
You simply cannot write books better than (1),(2) and (3).
Those who complain ahout this book, should increase their mathematical background. ... Read more

Product Description
The object of this book is to quickly teach an electrical engineer or technologist how to use Mathcad. Mathcad simultaneously solves and documents calculations. It is oriented toward non-programmers who need to solve numerical engineering problems. Users like Mathcad because its programs follow the natural format of manual calculations. Complete keystroke-to-keystroke details are provided for problem solution and documentation. The reader learns by example. As a calculating tool, Mathcad solves equations. The equations are entered into Mathcad in a format similar to that used in manual calculations. It will solve mesh equations with real or complex numbers and will solve differential equations. Outputs can be numerical or graphical. Mathcad will also do symbolic calculations, meaning that it can reduce complex systems of equations to simpler equations. Documenting calculations is a major reason that Mathcad is used in modern industry. Calculations that in the past might have been recorded in notebooks, or even on easily lost scraps of paper, are now done with Mathcad to take advantage of the accuracy, neatness, traceability, and standardization it provides. Mathcad is available in a free 30 day demonstration version. The key features of Mathcad can be learned in 30 days. ... Read more

3-0 out of 5 stars Excellent Junior level college text
The first 6 chapters cover the basics of analyzing RLC networks.Chapters7 thru 10 give a good introduction to semiconductor devices, amplifiers,and analog signal processing.Chapters 11 and 12 are a way too briefcoverage of digital electronics (and is fast becoming dated material). Chapters 13 to 16 cover the basic concepts of magnetic circuits, AC motors,etc.Chapter 17 is a hodge podge introduction to some advancedmaterial.

The text requires/uses basic calculus and complex numbers. There are lots of examples to explain each concept as it is introduced. The circuit analysis techniques developed in the first 5 chapters will beused throughout the students career.These chapters are very well laidout, leading the student along from one basic point to the next in alogical manner, and make this an excellent textbook.The sections onsemiconductor devices and amplifiers are a little dated, but still coverbasic relevant information.An example of where the text is dated is inthe section on two-port networks which does not even mention S-parametercircuit models. ...

2-0 out of 5 stars This is a list of words with a translation
If your looking for a book with just a simple translation this is it.For example, "boolean" is provided with a dozen different types (e.g. boolean algebra). "Boot" is given 2 possibilites "manguito aislador" and "cubierta aislante"; when to one or the other? and are these related to "boot your computer"?
No definitions or pronounciations anywhere in this EE word translator; definitely not a dictionary (i.e. no definitions).
It does have many 2 or more word translation; "tuned line"phrase provided: "linea sintonizada". Can't find that in any English to Spanish Dictionary but what does it mean and how to pronounce it is not provided.

5-0 out of 5 stars Delivers what is promised.
It delivers exactly what it says, electrical and computer engineering terms.Its approach is straightforward, but rather technical.Most any imaginable term in these fields is here, but there is not a sufficient emphasis on the elementary terms in computers.However, most of the omitted terms are of such a general nature that these can be easily found elsewhere.This dictionary is for those whose do serious research or translations.There are other dictionaries for the more general terminology.

3-0 out of 5 stars English-Spanish, Spanish-English Electrical and Computer Eng

It's got any term you need in computer and electrical engineering, but it also has an extra 50,000 terms!It is very accurate, and can save the day frequently, but there should also be an abbreviated version for those whoonly need the main terminology.

1-0 out of 5 stars USELESS DICTIONARY
I do not know how useful this dictionary may be for a computer engineer, but it is certainly useless for a technical translator especializing in software manuals and software localization.

Product Description

Readers benefit because the book is based on these three themes: (1) it builds an understanding of concepts based on information the reader has previously learned; (2) it helps stress the relationship between conceptual understanding and problem-solving approaches; (3) the authors provide numerous examples and problems that use realistic values and situations to give users a strong foundation of engineering practice. The book also includes a PSpice Supplement which contains problems to teach readers how to construct PSpice source files; and this PSpice Version 9.2 can be used to solve many of the exercises and problems found in the book. Topical emphasis is on the basic techniques of circuit analysis–Illustrated via a Digital-to-Analog Resistive Ladder (Chapter 2); the Flash Converter (Chapter 4); Dual Slope Analog-to-Digital Converter (Chapter 5); Effect of parasite inductance on the step response of a series RLC circuit (Chapter 6); a Two-Stage RC Ladder Network (Chapter 8); and a Switching Surge Voltage (Chapter 9).

1-0 out of 5 stars Really bad!
This text book is absolutely horrible.I'm a third-year Mech Eng student. I've taken plenty of classes on hard subjects, so I know when a text book just plain sucks.This book does a pathetic job of explaining examples and basic concepts.I've spent hours trying to figure out assumptions that they should have just mentioned in the first place.And the poorly explained examples don't prepare you for the actual chapter problems.Because of the "wordy" writing style of the authors, basic concepts sound more complicated than they actually are; getting through the reading is a slow and tedious process.
The book is utterly sterile.The only colors you'll see inside it are black and a little blue; there isn't even a picture of an actual circuit in this book.It's like it's writen for a machine.

1-0 out of 5 stars Poor example. The homework problems like hell
The examples which were given in the textbook were way too simple when you compare to the homework problems. Never explain how to do bode plot at all. I am glad I know how to do differential equations before taking the class, otherwise, to use the method that taught by this book, I would be dead. They never explain well on those differential equations and the concept behind.

1-0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your time
I'm a second year EE engineering student with 20 years of electronics background in repairing, circuit analysis, and troubleshooting.This book is absolutly worthless. The auther jumps to great leaps of understanding with littel or no background to show the student how they got to those conclusions.The examples are non excistant. They use "conventional current" which is really backward to reality.It used to be called "hole theory" back in the day.Go with Boylstead or somone who has a clue about teaching. If your a beginning electronics student, forget this book, you'll be lost by the 1st chapter.There are countless problems too lengthy to go into detail here. If your school is using it, spend the extra money and get somthing to actually learn from, just to pass the course.

1-0 out of 5 stars Give me a break.
If anyone tells you this is a good book, then they are receiving bribes from Prentice Hall.The only possible explanation I can think of that would explain the use of this book, is if the class is intended to 'weed out' 90 percent of the students.This is by far the most terrible excuse for a textbook I have ever seen.It teaches the most basic concepts of circuits, but yet it practically assumes you already know them, because it doesn't bother to work any examples out.If these authors were teaching nuclear physics, they would give you an intimidating equation, hand you a chunk of uranium, and expect you to build a power plant without hurting yourself.I have found countless typos (I might mention that I own the 6th edition), several problems that even my professor claims are incorrect, and most of all, I cannot follow the logic presented whatsoever.I have taken many classes that were extremely difficult, and for the most part, I have done well.However, this book presents material that is trivial in comparison, but the book goes right over my head.Only after the professor 'decodes' the text can I understand what the authors intended to say.I will also add that I took 4 semesters of calculus through a distance learning class where I had no instructor at all and got As in all of those classes.I am perfectly capable of understanding a well written book.This book is truly so poor, I would be impressed if Einstein himself didn't scratch his eyebrows off after reading it.

Please, for the love of all things sacred, complain to everyone you know about this textbook so it can disappear from the shelves of University bookstores.

I'm sorry to say this but this book is absolutely horrible. This is my third year in college and this has to be the worst text book I've ever had.

This is NOT a good book for an introductory level circuit analysis course. ... Read more

This comprehensive revision of a popular text helps non-electrical engineering majors--the future users, rather than the designers of electrical devices, systems, and machines--gain a conceptual understanding of electrical engineering.Early coverage of systems and an emphasis on an IC (integrated circuits) "building block" approach motivates non-majors. The text features integration of analog and digital technology with cutting-edge coverage of op-amps, feedback and analog systems. A section on SPICE, the leading computer-aided circuit analysis software, introduces students to computerized analysis of circuits. Chapter-end Applications capture student interest by relating material to contemporary topics such as automobile suspension systems, high-fidelity audio, and hand-held computers. ... Read more

3-0 out of 5 stars awful and awesome
This book is awful because it is very hard to read when you are first exposed to electrical engineering field. It's even worst when you are a freshman does not have the patience to peruse the book. Too much material, nothing interesting... basically you are just flipping V=IR around for the whole course (really boring.) It will discourage students studying electrical engineering as it did for me.

Fast forward, 7 years later when you have forgotten everything about EE or something like current flow through a diode; it's an excellent book to look up for that. The book is really really easy to read after you have taken other upper and graduate EE classes or design real circuits. It's a light easy book to read to refresh some FUNDAMENTAL concepts.... but then that is defeating the purpose of an "INTRODUCTION" book. Look at other books like Allan R. Hambley or arts of electronics (this is more pratical) as alternative books.

1-0 out of 5 stars This is certainly not "An Introduction"
If you are a novice EE student, never buy this book. This is not an introduction in the sense we usually think. In a word, terrible!

1-0 out of 5 stars Most Horrible Textbook Ever
I used this book in my sophomore year Intro to EE class and it has to be the most horribly written technical textbook ever. I read from the book only once the whole semester and spent the rest of the time learning from tutors and lecture notes. The examples are cryptic and poorly explained and the chapters are haphazardly organized. I pity those who're forced to buy this for their EE classes, but if you have a choice, you can definitely find yourself a much better textbook than this piece of junk.

1-0 out of 5 stars Something is missing
I'm a retired EE and having other textbooks in my library on this subject I would conclude that this is not an easy book to follow, certainly not as an introduction to second year engineering students. For example, the write up on higher-order circuits is just too superficial and left too large a gap to follow up into the examples or homework in my opinion. This treatment of subject areas seems to be the norm rather than the exception. This book is not incomplete and has many classical examples but it's just difficult to follow. There are better books. Its probably best to have other references in hand such as Schaum's, Charles M. Close, Ralph J. Smith, Johnson/Hilburn/Johnson and a good set of class notes to fill in between the gaps.

1-0 out of 5 stars Hard to follow, ...
This book is to hard to follow, with bad examples and explaining things so you can't tell what is going on. I hate this book. My advice to you is if you are taking a class that is using this book, get another book to use because this book is worthless. ... Read more

Product Description
In many cases, the beginning engineering student is thrown into upper-level engineering courses without an adequate introduction to the basic material.This, at best, causes undue stress on the student as they feel unprepared when faced with unfamiliar material, and at worst, results in students dropping out of the program or changing majors when they discover that their chosen field of engineering is not what they thought it was.The purpose of this text is to introduce the student to a general cross-section of the field of electrical and computer engineering.The text is aimed at incoming freshmen, and as such, assumes that the reader has a limited to nonexistent background in electrical engineering and knowledge of no more than pre-calculus in the field of mathematics.By exposing students to these fields at an introductory level, early in their studies, they will have both a better idea of what to expect in later classes and a good foundation of knowledge upon which to build. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars Good reference
This was a good reference book for studying for the FE for the EE section.

2-0 out of 5 stars Not worthless, but not much help
This book gives a collection of assorted problems from the Electrical/Computer Engineering curriculum. I took and passed the exam this past October (2008) after graduating in May of 2007. I can't honestly say this book helped me a ton, though; I see it as good to look at in 2 scenarios:
1. Work the problems FIRST, then you will have some idea as to what you need to extensively review.
2. Work the problems as a sort of mock afternoon exam, a week before your for-real F.E. exam. It will get you in that test-taking mindset.

Unfortunately, there are quite a few errors I noticed in the book, and even without the errors, this book is by no means a "good" review of 4 years of ECE studies.
I can't say this book is 100% worthless, but I hope you still have your textbooks.

1-0 out of 5 stars Dont buy this book..
I bought this book for the Electrical Discipline exam for april 2005 exam. I trully dont recomend to use this book...none of what that book have appears on the FE electric discipline, seems to be outdated or something.Special recomendation from heart..buy better the FE Review Manual: Rapid Preparation for the General Fundamentals of Engineering Exam, from Lindeburg and go for general at the afternoon. Trust me!

In addition, as most modern engineers are required to study software, material suitable for Software Engineering - set theory, predicate and prepositional calculus, language and graph theory - is fully integrated into the book.

Excessive technical detail and language are avoided, recognising that the real requirement for practising engineers is the need to understand the applications of mathematics in everyday engineering contexts. Emphasis is given to an appreciation of the fundamental concepts behind the mathematics, for problem solving and undertaking critical analysis of results, whether using a calculator or a computer.

The text is backed up by numerous exercises and worked examples throughout, firmly rooted in engineering practice, ensuring that all mathematical theory introduced is directly relevant to real-world engineering. The book includes introductions to advanced topics such as Fourier analysis, vector calculus and random processes, also making this a suitable introductory text for second year undergraduates of electrical, electronic and computer engineering, undertaking engineering mathematics courses.

The book is supported with a number of free online resources. On the companion website readers will find:
* over 60 pages of "Background Mathematics" reinforcing introductory material for revision purposes in advance of your first year course
* plotXpose software (for equation solving, and drawing graphs of simple functions, their derivatives, integrals and Fourier transforms)
* problems and projects (linking directly to the software)

In addition, for lecturers only, http://textbooks.elsevier.com features a complete worked solutions manual for the exercises in the book.

Dr Attenborough is a former Senior Lecturer in the School of Electrical, Electronic and Information Engineering at South Bank University. She is currently Technical Director of The Webbery - Internet development company, Co. Donegal, Ireland.

* Fundamental principles of mathematics introduced and applied in engineering practice, reinforced through over 300 examples directly relevant to real-world engineering
* Over 60 pages of basic revision material available to download in advance of embarking on a first year course
* Free website support, featuring complete solutions manual, background mathematics, plotXpose software, and further problems and projects enabling students to build on the concepts introduced, and put the theory into practice ... Read more

Product Description
ELECTRICAL STUDIES FOR TRADES, 4th EDITION is ideal for current and future service technicians in fields such as air conditioning and refrigeration, construction, and facilities management who require practical knowledge of electricity. This book begins with an overview of basic electricity concepts rather than introducing complex mathematical calculations. From this starting point, readers proceed directly to "must-know" information, including how to determine wire sizes and make a variety of common switch connections. Different types of electrical power panels are also examined in detail. Discussion of general wiring practices and circuit protectors, as well as an introduction to transformers and three-phase and single-phase motors, rounds out the comprehensive coverage. ...

3-0 out of 5 stars electrical studies for trades
I have found meny mistakes and I am only two chapter twelve. They are type,o's and wrong answers in the back of the book. Makes it difficult and challenging to progress through the class without some fustration.

4-0 out of 5 stars Electrical theory made easy
This IS NOT and electronics theory book.

I can't even begin on this book, it has just about everything. I also like that it's somewhat organized, starting off with the vary building blocks "the atom". Explains from the ground up how electricity works and is filled with easy to understand(well... some head scratchers)answers and examples. Then it moves on to how it acts and even gets into batteries, motors, transformers and industrial topics. It also gives tid bits and fun facts through out the book.

Example, in this book it's stated that an electron actually moves vary slowly, but it's the force of electricity that's instantaneous (faster than light). Think of it this way, if you take a tube and put a ball in it (the ball being an electron), it takes a while to get to the other end. If you fill the tube with balls (electrons) when you put one ball in the one end the one on the other end comes out instantly. The ball you put in the other end pushes all balls at the same time making the transfer of energy instant from one end of the tube to the other (thus the ball comes out the end the same time the other one is put in). This works because in theory, everything is made up of electrons (among other things like neutrons, protons and such) so if current begins to flow (witch is the flow of electrons) in theory electricity will seemingly go faster than the speed of light because of the before mentioned.

This ^^^ is the kind of detailed and well written examples you can expect in this book. I gave 4 stars (I would have given it 4.5 if I could) because it lacked detailed info on how solid state and Simi conductor technology actually physically works. It would be a perfect book if it weren't for that. ... Read more

I aquired this book as part of the price of tuition for an IEEE class on electrical contacts.

This is more of a collection of individual papers or topics than a text book.It is basically a continuation of Ragnar Holm'sfamous work.

If you are in the field of electrical contacts this is abook you can't live without! ... Read more

Regardless, if you are a student or an EE this book is excellent.
As a student if gives full, step-by-step, worked out examples.
As an EE it is very easy to look up the math one forgets over time.
I wish I had it when I was going to school.Unfortunately back then it was rare to find such a book.
Highly recommended.
