   I have been trying to get in touch with someone from amazon.com.

   I ordered this book once with my debit card. An hour later, I received an email that my card had been declined. The email said that my order was canceled because of this, so I used another card and my transaction went through. This was 4 weeks ago. My book came in and everything was fine.

   A week ago, I received the second copy of the book that was supposedly canceled. I looked at my bank statement and I had been charged for the other book, too.

   Who can I speak to about this?

   Book is brand new, as described. It arrived earlier than expected and saved me around $50 instead of buying from my bookstore.

   This book was required of my circuits class. It’s explanations are pretty good and the diagrams are good too, but it’s hard to mess up circuits. The one thing I truly hate about this book is that it does not have any answers in the back. I would really like to know that half of the problems that I am doing are correct, so that is very frustrating. Overall, an OK book, but it would be a great book with answers to odd or even numbered questions in the back.

   This is an excellent Circuit Analysis textbook!

   My copy was obtained in 1976, so refers to the Second Edition, for a course that I was taking the next semester as an undergraduate. Because that same semester I was taking Systems Analysis, which had Circuit Analysis as a prerequisite and my daring academic advisor at OSU, the late Dr. Bennett Basore, who signed me up for 19 hours my first semester, warned me that I might have trouble taking those two courses together. My solution was to allocate two or three days over Christmas break to studying this text to make sure that I had its principles down.

   Naturally, like any good student, I skipped the Preface, which warns, “An amused smile on the face of a student is seldom an obstacle to his absorbing information.” Imagine my surprise at page 11 when we find a first-hand observer counting electrons, up to a Coulomb, with the footnote that he “is a small, *quick* student”! I still laugh when I read that part, now open in front of me.

   This is one of the most pleasant, easy-to-read and informative textbooks that I own. My custom is to annotate the errors on the rear flyleaf of the book. This book should get an award for accuracy. The first error that I found is on page 320 and is a typesetting error on an underscore that most people would overlook! (Most texts have serious errors every 20 or 30 pages.)

   In the few days that I had, I read the first several chapters and did all the drill problems and most of the problems at the end of the first chapters. This is a very self-explanatory text to those who did well in Algebra and Linear Algebra. Later chapters use a little Calculus. I had a fun and easy time doing enough that I covered all the homework that we had during the first six or eight weeks of the semester! (Although the Teaching Assistant would ask me why I turned in extra problems!)

   In my edition, only the drill problems have answers. The chapter problems have no answers at all, but I understand that the teacher’s edition has answers. This was never a problem, since the text tells in an entertaining and informative manner how to work the problems. If it were not so, I’m sure the problem would have been moved to a different spot in the book!

   I’ve spent over 30 years in Electrical Engineering and along the way obtained a Ph.D. in the subject. This textbook has served me very well many times along the way and I’d like to thank the authors for doing such a good job of writing it!

   The book contains left out diagrams, and incorrectly solved homework problems for starters. Also, the book has no solutions to the odd worked problems. Furthermore, the authors tend to give simple examples in the text and then give extremely difficult homework problems at the end of the chapter. Lastly, the book has a very bad and vague explanation for passive sign convention that will leave you suffering for the duration of the text.

   If you don’t have a good instructor that is willing to fill in the gaps that this book leaves, then chances are you will do poorly in your first circuits class.
