Electrical Engineering: Principles & Applications (6th Edition)

Very good book. That means a lot coming from me... since I hate everything to do with circuits.Electrical Engineering is a bold title for the book. It should be titled "Introductory Circuits" or something similar.The content isn't too hard, and the problems given in the book are actually quite useful. If I remember correctly, there are no answers in the back of the book. This would be helpful. What use is homework if you don't even know if you are doing it correctly? The book has a lot of illustrations and demonstrations on how to solve the problems using MatLab.The only reason it got four stars was because some of the given problems seemed to be out of the blue. You would start on a problem and it would have concepts that weren't even touched on anywhere in the book. There are only a few of these each chapter though.

Just what you would expect from a textbook. Thats why its only getting three stars lol. All the questions are worked out on chegg so its helpful if you get stuck. This is probably he best book for the class that I had to take.

Hambley's stuff is great, examples and explanations are straightforward. Summary captions in the margins are cool, too.But what's with the binding??? Fell apart in literally 4 months of simply taking it to school in my backpack each day. There are multiple cracks in the binding, and the cover moves all around. My professor here at Michigan Tech said the same thing's happened to him. Now I probably can't make $10 off a $160 book...what a ripoff, Pearson.

This book is nearly useless! Not only does it provide answers for about 1/3 of the problems in each chapter, you have to get online and download the folder just so you can have them. The examples or lack of hardly explain the steps taken to solve the problems. They skip many steps that may not be intuitive or they simply state "perform Mesh Analysis and this is your answer...". I am an engineering student so naturally I keep all of my textbooks but this is one that I cant wait to sell! If I had the choice I wouldn't pay $50 for this! There are far better textbooks out there for a much cheaper price.

I had to buy this book for the homework purposes which was an integral for my grade. This is absolutely worst book for non-electrical engineering when it comes to explain concepts, and it does do some problem as an example. But the homework problems that are assigned by the Author is really difficult to do it. There is no homework solutions in the Back; you have to go online to check with the answer if you get it right or wrong. The moment I passed the class, I sold the book right away. No homework solutions in the back at all.. Why did they not include the hm solutions in the back? Thats' absurd.

good

Does not provide very good explanation for everything. I had to google most topics. I ended up doing well in the class but it wasn't because of any help that this book provided. I don't even think there are enough examples to truly understand most of the concepts.

Great book at the price
