Summary: Concur that this is a masterpiece
Comment: I concur with David Darva's reflection that this book is a "masterpiece," because I have found myself personally enthused about it. It is very concisely written and it actually covers the entire field of electrical engineering, getting the reader grounded for further study. It is a "hard book," only because there is so much in it. The examples force you deeply enough into the material to get a working understanding of what is going on, and the commentary gives you a feel for where things came from, how they fit in, etc. (I have the 4th Ed.)

Summary: filled with errors
Comment: The one of the authers of this text teaches at UC Davis. The worked examples and questions in the book were basically taken from the work of his graduate students. This may explain the large amounts of errors found in both the examples and the problem sets. My professor has found so many errors that he no longer assigns problems that he himself has not personally checked. My professor realizes that there is nothing more frustrating than learning the methods taught in a text and not being able to reprduce the given answers. This text could also use more worked ( and corrrect ) examples of some of the more complicated problems. On the other hand it has nice pictures. (I hear the author was tranfered out of teaching electronics... I wonder if this is true)

Summary: A good reference book for circuit analysis.
Comment: My porfessor always give us difficult problem to solve. Everytime I encountered difficulty on basic concepts and theorems, I can find clear explaination and representative examples from the book. I think it is better to have detail solution to the problems.
