How much do you know?
By Clifford W. Blasch
When I original wanted to buy this book, the reviews weren’t that helpful. Alot of issues with errors and proof reading. My background is one of electronics, I have over 100 semester hours in electrical engineering from a major college. So before you buy this book, let me point out numerous things.
First, this isn’t an introductry book for electronics, If your looking for a guide buy something else I highly commend The Art of Electronics Anyway back to the review:
This book covers various items which I expended various years learning in college all 4 years. It is filled with integration, and other fantasti calculus and physics formulas. If you are scared of upper level math, don’t buy this. It goes WAY beyond introductry courses,and will not explain how or why.
On the other side of the house. If you have a background in Electronics, heavy in theory. If you are alittle rusty or just attempting to revive those long dead brain cells, this book is excellent. Yes there are a few mistakes, but as your working the problem, it is very easy to spot, missed decimal places etc. I’m presently using this book to prep for the US Postal Electronics Tech Test. I expect this will cover everthing I need, with the exception of number conversions, binary to decimal etc. That might be covered, but primary glimpse I didn’t see it.
So in summary, if an Integration sign frightens you, or If you have watched “Good Will Hunting” and have never seen the symbols he writes on the mirror, or have never heard of Kirchhoff,vectors, Thev Eq, or even Ohms Law don’t buy this. If you have seen or done the above, your gorgeous safe.
I hope this helps.

3500 problems
By Nathan
Honestly, this book must be called “3,500 Problems in Electrical Circuits” – the 3000 difficultnesses staged along with the 500 faults in their solutions. Buyer beware – unless you’re convinced in your circuit accomplishments and just want to solve difficultnesses – be careful! This book has defective solutions from missing terms to magically appearing components of 10 to misspellings (even misspelling Newton! which is the equivalent of scientific sacrilege). Many of the circuit drawings are not even clean CAD drawings but cruder hand drawings…
All of this shows a clear lack of attention, review and editing – so unless you wish to carry out these functions, move on! This is the product of a cram session overnighter in order to get a paycheck… The value equivalent of “Britney Spears Guide to Class and Refinement”…

Very Helpful
By Mark Goodell
I wish that all study guides were as utile as this one. In each topic area the author starts with simple problems, so the student may get the hang of what is going on, and progresses to the more complicated. I employed this guide a number of years ago when I was taking undergrad electrical engineering science classes, and I still think of it as an crucial friend.
