Product Description
Written by an expert electronics engineer who enjoys teaching the practical side of engineering, this book covers all the subjects that a beginning EE needs to know: intuitive circuit and signal analysis, physical equivalents of electrical components, proper use of an oscilloscope, troubleshooting both digital and analog circuits, and much more! Even engineers with years in the industry can benefit from the compendium of practical information provided within.
CONTENTS:
Chapter 0: What is Electricity Really?
Chapter 1: Three Things They Should Have Taught in Engineering 101
Chapter 2: Basic Theory
Chapter 3: Pieces Parts
Chapter 4: The Real World
Chapter 5: Tools
Chapter 6: Troubleshooting
Chapter 7: Touchy-Feely Stuff
Appendix
*Covers the engineering basics that have been either left out of a typical engineer's education or forgotten over time
*No other book offers a wealth of "insider information" in one volume, specifically geared to help new engineers and provide a refresher for those with more experience
*updated content throughout, including 2-color diagrams and a new 'Chapter 0 - What is Electricity Really?'
*The accompanying CD-ROM contains a reference library of electronics information, with demo simulation software and engineering calculators

 Good review of fundamentals December 2, 2006
Steven J. Marrano (Atco, NJ United States)
15 out of 15 found this review helpful
This is a great book because the author is taking basic theory and providing the reader with some good intuitive tools to gain a foothold on how components work.
Many textbook authors in the circuit analysis arena (or electrical engineering as a broader area) tend to do one of 3 things;
a) Over explain a concept until the reader loses track of what he is doing
b) Skip too many steps in showing the derivation of a formula or the solving of a problem.
c) Place more emphasis on the mathematics associated with specific problem rather than the problems significance.
The author clearly avoids these traps. His text is reminiscent of a bygone era where engineering books actually sought to explain concepts and their significance.
A good book for the beginner... May 12, 2006

This book is well written and relatively easy to understand for beginning students or those that would like to refresh their knowledge. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in electronics. This book helped me understand concepts that I struggled with in class and for years after school.

Please be aware that the error in the equations has been corrected and all new books are shipping with it fixed.
thanks,

I love this book January 11, 2007

With the exception of one error on the formula for calculating resistance in parallel it's a great book. While (R1*R2/(R1+R2) is correct, (R1*R2*R3/(R1+R2+R3) is not. The first trick only works for 2 resistors, and the corresponding formulas for Capacitors in series and Inductors in parallel act the same way. Other than that, the book does and excellent job of explaining things. I would recommend this book to any college student who is struggling with Electrical Engineering 101 courses since it does such a good job of presenting the information in a clear way.
Wish I'd have known these shortcuts in college! April 21, 2008

This is what more educational institutions need - someone who can take a subject and simplify it so that it is easy to recall. I have a BSEE and these topics were always taught from just a mathematical standpoint. The author takes the subject and teaches it in a way that is easily memorable.
