How much do you know?

When I first wanted to buy this book, the reviews weren't that helpful. Alot of issues with mistakes and proof reading. My background is one of electronics, I have over 100 semester hours in electrical engineering from a major college. So before you buy this book, let me point out some things. First, this isn't an introductry book for electronics, If your looking for a guide buy something else I highly recommend The Art of Electronics Anyway back to the review: This book covers several items which I spent several years learning in college all 4 years. It is filled with integration, and other wonderful calculus and physics formulas. If you are afraid of upper level math, don't buy this. It goes WAY beyond introductry courses,and will not explain how or why. On the other side of the house. If you have a background in Electronics, heavy in theory. If you are alittle rusty or just trying to revive those long dead brain cells, this book is excellent. Yes there are a few mistakes, but as your working the problem, its very easy to spot, missed decimal places etc. I'm currently using this book to prep for the US Postal Electronics Tech Test. I anticipate this will cover everthing I need, with the exception of number conversions, binary to decimal etc. That might be covered, but first glance I didn't see it. So in summary, if an Integration sign scares you, or If you have watched "Good Will Hunting" and have never seen the symbols he writes on the mirror, or have never heard of Kirchhoff,vectors, Thev Eq, or even Ohms Law don't buy this. If you have seen or done the above, your pretty safe. I hope this helps.

Good book

A good book - problems are a bit simple, but when practising calcutating routine skills, they are a great help. Few typos are a nuisance, but they are easy to spot (see the other reviews).

Very Helpful

I wish that all study guides were as useful as this one. In each topic area the author starts with simple problems, so the student can get the hang of what is going on, and progresses to the more complicated. I used this guide a number of years ago when I was taking undergraduate electrical engineering classes, and I still think of it as an important friend.

A book all Electrical Engineering Student should have!

As a sophomore taking my first Circuit Analysis class I found that the my text didn't have much examples or problems to solve at the end of each chapter. Schaum's was the solution, it's a great practice guide, especially when it comes to solving circuit analysis where the possible problem combinations are infinite and only practice will enable you to master the basics of circuit analysis.It's also great for preparation before an exam. If you think you're ready for a test, I'm sure Schaum's will prove you wrong.

Important problems to solved.

I'd conclude that I'm not good in analysing in any type of circuit without background.Now I wanted to know more about on Nodal,Maxwell,Thevenin's,Nortons,Kirchoof's and more.Actually my standing is not so good but I tried my capacity as a human person to overcome all problems,especially in this subject because this is my major subjects.Although I've failed last semister in electric circuit subjects but I consider this as a challenge to me because what is important here is to learn more.In our school there is a lot of teachers where is masteral and there is a P.H.D handling major subjects therefore I decided to scan over and over and I'm waiting for your help.In the moments I focuses in this subject,my minor subjects is not so hard I hope you understand me.
