Product Description
Alexander and Sadiku's third edition of Fundamentals of Electric Circuits continues in the spirit of its successful previous editions, with the objective of presenting circuit analysis in a manner that is clearer, more interesting, and easier to understand than the other texts in the market. Students are introduced to the sound, six-step problem solving methodology in chapter one, and are consistently made to apply and practice these steps in practice problems and homework problems throughout the text and online using the KCIDE for Circuits software. A balance of theory, worked examples and extended examples, practice problems, and real-world applications, combined with over 300 new homework problems and robust media offerings, renders the third edition the most comprehensive and student-friendly approach to linear circuit analysis.

Great Electrical Engineering textbook May 17, 2009
Ramon Carter (Morgantown, WV)
Unfortunately there are a few typos with equations but I ditched our WVU university book and used this one and was able to easily follow the examples and to the hw problems and understand everything I needed to know. Very very clear and easy to read, well refined, and meant to let the student teach himself/herself. I've had a lot of college classes and this is one of the 2 most impressive books I've used. Despite the typos it's a great book.
Perfect service April 21, 2009

the BEST April 1, 2009
Srikumar Sandeep (Boulder,CO)
probably the best book on the topic!
If you are looking for electric circuits, this should be number one on your list along with the schaums outline by edminister
 Great book....covers alot November 8, 2007

This book is pretty good...little or no mistakes. However, the authors could have gone into a little more detail in explaining basic concepts. All in all, this book is a must-have.
Good book, with some minor problems June 28, 2006

Overall this is a really great book with lots of examples and good problems, however my complaint is that some of the problems haven't been covered in the examples and so they are too difficult to solve. For instance, in the chapter on node voltages, none of the examples covers floating voltage sources that have other components like resistors in series with them, yet a number of the problems involve such floating voltage sources. I had to refer to the Schaum's Outline of Basic Circuit Analysis (another very good book, btw) to find an example problem for that.
If you're looking for books on electric circuits, however, I would definitely recommend this one along with the Schaum's Outline book I mentioned above.
