This innovative electronic book uses Mathcad, the leading technical calculation software, to present and solve approximately 100 representative problems on electric circuits from the printed Schaum’s Outline. Readers will also get helpful summaries of key theoretical points, hyperlinked cross-references, and an electronic search feature that makes it easy to find related topics. Because this Electronic Tutor employs “live math,” every number, formula, and graph is interactive–enabling users to experiment with all parameters and equations!

   Used for its intended purpose as an outline or study guide for a course/exam, this book is alright. Each chapter provides an explanation of the given topic with enough detail that an experienced reader will understand it, and there are tons of solved and unsolved problems for all the topics. There are lots of typos, which makes the problems somewhat misleading, but overall the problems are good.

   Unfortunately, some profs (like mine) think this book can be used as a textbook. My prof used it as their only source when teaching some of the material, but that really doesn’t work. The explanations are so brief and the excercises are barely useful for a beginner, making it very hard to learn new material with this book. And again, there is such an incredible amount of typos that you almost have to be an expert to be able to tell right from wrong.

   The quality of this book as a textbook is fairly poor, too. There is barely any formatting or structure to aid the reader when using it as a reference, and there are almost no summary sections.

   If I wasn’t required to have this book for my electric circuits course, I wouldn’t have bought it. Most good electric circuits textbooks provide just about as many solved and unsovled problems as this book does, and most also provide enough summary sections that a summary textbook like this is unnecessary. Plus, by getting this textbook you’ll have to adjust to a whole new writing style and structure.

   If your electric circuits textbook sucks (or if your course requires this book), then I guess it’d be a good idea to buy this book. At least it’s inexpensive. But, if your main electric circuits book is working well for you then don’t bother getting this one.

   I had purchased this book due to all the good reviews it had, was going to use it in addition to my circuit textbook to help me out in the class, it turned out to be a waste of money, bad explanation and did not have enough examples

   This book covers the first two levels of Engineering classes on circuit analysis. A great study aid and test prep.

   This is the book that should be made as textbook for ECE textbook, instead of all those big, fat, and expensive ones. ECE textbooks should be like this! precise, to-the-point, clarity, lots of detailed examples! I hate schools that just want to make more profit from students by having them to buy those new expensive books. of course, there’s no way to cover all those materials in those kinds of books.

   The book itself is a decent collection of practice problems. However, I ended up with a copy that was stiched together improperly. For some reason, the first 32 pages appears twice, skipping the the second 32 pages of the book such that parts of chapter 3 and all of chapter 4 are completely missing. I couldn’t return the item due to the policy of the seller regarding books lik Shaum’s, but I was given the publisher’s phone number. Let’s hope I can get this resolved satisfactorily.
