Book Description
The new edition of Glover and Sarma's highly-respected text provides students with an introduction to the basic concepts of power systems along with tools to aid them in applying these skills to real world situations. Like earlier editions of the book, physical concepts are highlighted while also giving necessary attention to math-ematical techniques. Both theory and modeling are developed from simple beginnings so that they can be readily extended to new and complex situations. Beginning in Ch. 3, students are introduced to new concepts critical to analyzing power systems, including coverage of both balanced and unbalanced operating conditions. The authors incorporate new tools and material to aid students with design issues and reflect recent trends in the field. Each book now contains a CD with Power World software. This package is commonly used in industry and will enable students to analyze and simulate power systems. The authors use the software to extend, rather than replace, the fully worked examples provided in previous editions. In the new edition, each Power World Simulator example includes a fully worked hand solution of the problem along with a Power World Simulator case (except when the problem size makes it impractical). The new edition also contains updated case studies on recent trends in the Power Systems field, including coverage of deregulation, increased power demand, economics, and alternative sources of energy. These case studies are derived from real life situations.

Basic book for starting with power engineering.......2002-03-08
This book was usefull for my introduction course to electric prower engineering, for this porpuse is the best book you can find. But Don't expect it to be very profound.
About this book...........2000-04-02
Although this book is translated into Chinese, I like to read this book. Because I'm a collage student, this book is necessary for me. I study electronic, and this book is my best choice. Such as transformer, transmission line, power flow...ect, it's full and great to people who want to study the more power system. It's not hard to understand.

This is the worst book I have ever used in my enitire college career........2006-01-21
This book was awful. Concepts are confusing, examples are lacking, and most of the homework problems do not represent the material taught in the revelant chapter.
This book is terrible in getting across concepts and procedures relating to a variety of problems. One or two examples didn't help me work 20 hw problems, and on top of this the solutions aren't in the back of the book. you have to go on their website to get any supplementary material (which sucks just as bad). It will take forever just to get started on the homework problems because you will have to figure out how it even related to what was read in the chapter.
This book is horrible!.......2005-10-02
This is the book we're reading in my first EE class, and it sucks. Maybe if I had a great professor that actually taught and walked us through the practice problems it wouldn't be so frustrating, but he doesn't, and it makes trying to go through the book EXTREMELY difficult.
There are huge gaps in information that show up in assigned problems, which I understand can help reinforce the learning process, but there are books that do it effectively and then there's this piece of crap.
The authours of this steaming pile of cow waste leave out important details that can cost a student literally hours in trying to figure out a solution only to discover that the reason for the incorrect answer is because the book failed to mention ANYTHING that might be helpful.
I can't relate how many times I went online and actually looked up information in OTHER books that were 1000000 times better than this POS.
An example, you ask? On the section on combining independent current sources, it mentions (in about 2 sentences) that current sources should be combined when in parallel. That's fine and dandy, but what it doesn't tell you is that when you're doing ANY PROBLEM where current is in question, you've got to add any current sources BACK in to the answer, depending on where they appear in the circuit, or you'll get garbage as a result.
Is this common sense? Sure, I guess, if you've already taken the class and already understand circuit analysis. If you haven't and you don't, the authors apparently decided to leave you up s@#t creek without a paddle after robbing you blind.
If you're taking an EE class and see that this is the text, check out the professor before you take it, or you'll be sorry.
POOR BOOK.......2004-06-26
I am forced to buy this book because my class requires it. Otherwise I wouldn't have bought this book. I can get better than or as good as this book for quarter of its price. The answer to problems doesn't come with the book (not a SINGLE solution to any of the problems) so there's no way of checking if you're finding a corrent solution to the problem which is most important aspect of learning. SO WATCH OUT BEFORE YOU BUY! (As u know most science books provide a odd number solutions to check the answers to problems and teachers give even number problem for HW) The link on the book promises student problem companion, but I had to purchased it for extra 17.95$ to get it, but very few problems with solutions (5-6 problems per chapter) were offered. In other words I am ripped again. So every moment I use this book I smelled a greed for money. The website for this is confusing and unhelpful and resources that seems useful are priced. In the end I would recomment anything other rather than this book for someone who is serious about studying electronics.
Excelent for anyone studying the basics of circuit analysis.......2004-05-21
Like the title itself says, this is an introductory book on Circuit Analysis. In the first year of my engineering graduation, I used this book for the subject of Basic Circuit Analysis and found it to be extremely helpful. I think I can even say that this book made my life a lot easier, since the author - J. David Irwin - did a very good job on explaining concepts and circuit analysis basic methods and laws very clearly.
The book is very well structred, objective and and the subjects are easily understandable for the reader with little or none electronic circuit knowledge: every chapter starts with an introduction and a list of helpful topics which the author named "Learning Goals"; then, everytime a new concept/law/method is introduced, the author tests the reader to see if he did comprehend what has been explained to him by presenting him with very basic exercices, "Learning by Doing"; the author also provides the reader with "Learning Hints" on a regular basis, which can be interpreted as algorithms to solve certain problems or simple hints for the reader to do the exercice correctly, avoiding typical mistakes; at last, when a resonable amount of concepts have been introduced, the book features many "Learing Examples" with resolutions (note that resolutions can be of an extreme importance when the reader cannot understand how a certain problem is solved).
«Basic Engineering Circuit Analysis» covers everything that a book of this kind (introductory book) should cover, and even more, all in a clear way: basic concepts (quantities and electrical elements), resistive circuits (where the ohm and kirchhoff's laws are introduced), circuit analysis techniques (nodal and loop analysis), equivalent circuits (superposition, thévenin and norton's theorems), capacitance and inductance, first and second-order transcient circuits, AC steady-state analysis, magnetically coupled networks, steady-state power analysis, polyphase circuits, variable frequency network performance, the laplace and fourier tranforms (and applications to circuit analysis - e.g. bode diagrams), two-part networks and basic semiconductor circuits (diodes and transistors).
In my opinion, this is an excelent book for everyone who wants to study the basics of electrical circuit analysis. I highly recommend it for that purpose.
Very Nicely Put Together.......2003-02-19
I feel like this book was very nicely put together. Those who believe otherwise are just slackers that have been given everything they needed in high school. This book is a GREAT book for a electrical engineering major, but just having this book will not make you more intelligent, you will need to take the time to read it to understand what's going on.

Not Good for Introducing the Subject.......2007-10-01
Okay, I'll be the first to admit that I'm not the brightest bulb in the pack, but I'm not really that dim either. I thought I was the only one that didn't understand how they get from the example problems to the end-of-chapter problems until I read several reviews from others who had the same problem.
My instructor keeps telling everyone that has problems in the class, "Wait until you get to Digital Fundamentals - that will really give you trouble." Hmm, I've had DF and earned an A. Yes, I had to study and work hard at it, but at least I was able to understand getting from point A to point D!
At this juncture it is either get out while I can, without a grade penalty, or hope that I can catch up by going thru other books. I have ordered other books, but will be trying this class again next semester. I wish I had known at the beginning of the semester that I would need further texts to fill in the blanks!
Lab Manual.......2007-08-25
Is there a reason that the experiments that are suppose to accompany the 11ed book are based off the 10ed book?
John@home.com.......2003-07-09
First of all,this is the best introductory book I have ever read. Boylestadt does an excellent job of getting to the point on the subjects he talks about.The tools he explains in network theorems are very good for the ones who wish to bone up on their skills. You might want to have some other books that explain the subject a little simpler,but you have to work any way to get at that knowledge level.This is a good class room book where one is in a group and can communicate the thoughts they have leaned from the book.
This book is not about devices such as transistors and diodes but its about how accurately you can analyze the circuit. On top of that every mistake he makes in one edition,he corrects it in another edition. So you can guess that this book is pretty good.You don't necessarily have to have a TI-86,but it makes the work flow pretty easily.You need to know what an integrand sign means but for the most part it is a very readable book.
Boylestadt has books out on devices,too. If it's like this book
you know its very knowledgable.
A student who is using this book for Circuits Analysis.......2002-03-11
Hello to everyone who reads my review of this book. First of all for those of you who will need a TI-86 calculator which this book calls for, dont worry about because doesnt even tell you how to use it for certain applications such as Super Mesh, Method Analysis and so on. I had to go to a student who was in a College Algebra class to learn how to use this calculator for this book! Second my professor shows better examples on solve the problems in the book which the book makes it so confusing. You have to ask the professor to show several examples to learn what the book is covering. I would suggest to professors and the Director/Chairman as a student, look for a book that you can use in the class other than this where students can learn from and not become so confused over the material to where almost every student in the class has to ask the professor several questions about the topic and meet with him one on one. I am speaking for other students by the way. I am also helping the professors also. Get a book that students can learn from instead of a one on one discusssion with the professor. Some thing else other than this book! Thanks for your time reading my review. ~Scott~
Lack of communication, needs more depth in examples........2002-03-04
This book has a very clear, "lack of communication". The book is fine for the basics but the problem exercises do not involve the basics. The author explains problems from the beginning but goes straight to the end with the problem exercises. There needs to be more depth between the examples and the problems. This book is fine for some one who already knows it. But,if you don't and want to get confused and frustrated, then I recommend this book. If you are unfortunate and are forced to use this book, I would look for an outside source for reference. Beware!!! My question to the author is: Why are you keeping the middle a secret. This stuff is not as hard as the author makes it. To sum this up, the author says here is an elementary example now I want you to solve this advanced problem. Students need more examples with more depth. This book may be titled as introductory but it sure is geared for the more advanced.Thanks, but no thanks.

Schaum's Outline of Electric Circuits
ASIN: 0072283653 |
Book Description
The third edition of Hodges and Jackson's Analysis and Design of Digital Integrated Circuits has been thoroughly revised and updated by a new co-author, Resve Saleh of the University of British Columbia. The new edition combines the approachability and concise nature of the Hodges and Jackson classic with a complete overhaul to bring the book into the 21st century.
The new edition has replaced the emphasis on Bipolar with an emphasis on CMOS. The book focuses on the latest CMOS technologies and uses standard deep submicron models throughout the book.
The material on memory has been expanded and updated. As well the book now includes more on SPICE simulation and new problems that reflect recent technologies.
The emphasis of the book is on design, but it does not neglect analysis and has as a goal to provide enough information so that a student can carry out analysis as well as be able to design a circuit. This book provides an excellent and balanced introduction to digital circuit design for both students and professionals.
Customer Reviews:
I found it fairly useful. (However, I am a beginner)........2005-11-22
I liked the math. I think people should learn to recheck things a little more frequently than they do. I think it was organized well enough to follow coursework. I believe it would be useful to others. I recommend the book.
NOTE: However, that I am a beginner, and I can't tell if this would be a good book or not for more advanced individuals.
absolutely horrible.......2005-11-19
poorly written and organized. the exercises are a terrible. such tedious math. the claim that this book 'teaches you to think like a designer' is a joke. obviously none of these authors have ever been designers.
Practical reference for engineering.......2005-09-29
This text book was a rquirement to a class I'm still taking. So I'm not completely through the text yet. The careful crafting of the chapter's stucture gently leads this student through the tortuous details of modeling the highly non-linear sub-micron mosfet. Particularly useful are the end of chapter summaries that highlight the most critical and useful topics and equations. I do wish there were some problems at the end of the chapter that included answers. When the math gets this convoluted, it's nice to know if you should recheck your work. It would also help to use some standard units. An equation with the mixed length units of 60 *10^-6cm, 42 angstroms and 0.3 nm seems like just a trap for a student.
Very basic.......2005-01-14
This book covers the basics well, but does not cover any concept in depth. This book might be good for undergrad class for introduction class, but not a good one for grad level and one interested in advanced topics in VLSI.
Excellent book.......2004-02-02
The book serves as textbook for students as well as reference for digital circuit designer and EDA developers. Starting from the fundamentals of semiconductor physics and fabrication the reader will step through the key issues of digital IC design in deep submicron technology. The examples support the understanding of the material very well.
Book Description
This new book answers the call for a combined circuit analysis/electronic devices text that emphasizes fundamental concepts, critical thinking, and problem solving. Following the same student-friendly, easy-to-understand format used in Circuit Analysis: Theory and Practice, 3E by Robbins and Miller, topics include: methods of analysis, capacitance, inductance, diodes, op amps, optical devices, and more. Basic electronic devices and their applications are covered in a concise, yet comprehensive manner. Two popular computer application packages, MultiSIM and Cadence® PSpice, both in their latest versions, are integrated throughout to help students learn via hands-on simulation, with step-by-step instructions and full-color screen captures to enhance learning.
Book Description
Known for its reader-friendly approach, the revision of this best-selling book thoroughly covers the fundamentals of circuit theory from both a time domain and frequency domain point of view. The third edition of this comprehensive text has been fully updated and modernized to reflect current approaches to the course. It includes a greater emphasis on design, SPICE, and op amps, so as to better reflect the recent developments in the study of linear circuits.
Customer Reviews:
Not for learning purposes.......2007-02-23
This book skims over topics without a good insight over what is being discussed. The reading is quite difficult to grasp without a sufficient background in mathematics, like trigonometry or linear algebra. I found numerous mistakes and errors when doing problems, and the context of the book does not prepare the reader for some of the more complex problems that are given at the end of the chapter. The questions on the back do not start off with simple problems, and are usually found within the range of medium to very hard. I recommend buying another book, and coming back to this one just to do the problems.
this book is awful.......2006-12-13
Imagine a scenario where you're completely confused in a class and you go to the book for help, only to realize that the book might have just confused you even more. Then you look at the examples to find that those examples given are way easier than any of the practice problems at the end of the section, which means the book is of no help whatsoever. I hate this book.
Poorly written. .......2006-05-26
I (unfortunately) used this book in my first three undergraduate electrial engineering classes. This book should only be used as a reference for someone who is throughly familiar with the material. The basic concepts are poorly explained. Instead of writing thoughtful, well conceived explainations (or even using practical example of real world applications) the authors chose to use strictly mathmatical solutions as the explainations themselves. Although the reader may completely understand the math, the basic understanding (and use) of the concepts will remain unclear. Electric Circuits by Nilsson is considerably better written.
PS Many of my peers agree with this "tame" opinion.
Book Description
Written for electronics engineering technology students taking their first course in circuit theory, this exceptional book has been hailed by users and reviewers alike as one of the best on the market. The 4th Edition provides updated coverage of standard circuit analysis topics in a remarkably easy-to-understand fashion, including fundamentals of DC and AC, methods of analysis, capacitance, inductance, magnetism, simple transients, transformers, Fourier series, and more. Essential concepts are complemented with hundreds of worked out examples designed to lead readers through the critical thinking processes required to solve problems, preparing them to reason their way through life-like situations expected to be encountered on the job.
Customer Reviews:
Good book considering the material being covered.......2003-01-13
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.......2003-01-04
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.
Clear and Concise.......2002-11-17
This book takes alot of very hard topics to get your mind around and makes them very easy to understand. The book is good to know cover to cover and all the information in it can be used anywhere from the feild of computer's to electrical distribution. It's a great book to give you a solid basic understanding of electricity and how it's used.
