Book Reviews of Circuit Analysis Demystified

Book Review: Wish I had this in college
Summary: 5 Stars

I had to comment when I saw the only other (and very negative) review on this book. It looks like the reviewer is punishing this author because he was unable to take a short-cut on the PE exams by using this book.

I picked this up as a refresher to help my wife with her electrical engineering studies. When I was getting my degree, I suffered through expensive, dry, poorly written and error-prone texts written and required by my engineering professors. I supplemented with even drier, but more useful, Schuam's outlines.

Circuit Analysis DeMystified is a refreshing change. The author writes in a straight-forward friendly style and the material is a quick-read. I picked up more with this book in a four hour plane flight than I did in a semester long university class.

This probably isn't a replacement for your college texts, but if you want a quick refresher or overview, this is well worth the $15. I plan on buying the rest of the books from this author.

... And if you're studying for the PE exams, lay out the extra dollars and get a comprehensive study guide instead.



Summary of Circuit Analysis Demystified

Here's the sure cure for CIRCUIT PARALYSIS!

Need to learn circuit analysis but experiencing some resistance in your brain waves?  No stress! Circuit Analysis Demystified will give you the jolt you need to understand this complex subject--without getting your circuits crossed.

In the first part of the book, you'll learn the fundamentals such as voltage and current theorems, Thevenin and Norton's theorems, op amp circuits, capacitance and inductance, and phasor analysis of circuits. Then you'll move on to more advanced topics including Laplace transforms, three-phase circuits, filters, Bode plots, and characterization of circuit stability. Featuring end-of-chapter quizzes and a final exam, this book will have you in a steady state when it comes to circuit analysis in no time at all.

This fast and easy guide offers:

  • Numerous figures to illustrate key concepts
  • Sample equations with worked solutions
  • Coverage of Kirchhoff's laws, the superposition theorem, Millman's theorem, and delta-wye transformations
  • Quizzes at the end of each chapter to reinforce learning
  • A time-saving approach to performing better on an exam or at work

Simple enough for a beginner, but challenging enough for an advanced student, Circuit Analysis Demystified will transform you into a master of this essential engineering subject.
