Product Description
Master electrical engineering and ace your exams with this easy-to-follow guide that pumps up your problem-solving skills and reduces the time you need to spend studying! Electrical engineering students love "Schaum's" - the first edition of this book was a major bestseller - and this new guide will show you why! "Basic Electrical Engineering" lets you focus on the problems that are the core of electrical engineering. This guide takes you straight to the heart of EE. It simplifies your life and cuts your study time by eliminating the extraneous material you don't really need to know that clutters up so many textbooks. As you study along at your own pace, this study guide shows you step by step how to solve the kind of problems you're going to find on your exams. It gives you hundreds of completely worked problems with full solutions on the information that you really need to know.Hundreds of additional problems let you test your skills, then check the answers. So if you want to get a firm handle on electrical engineering - whether to ace your course or to build a solid basis for future study - there's no better tool than "Schaum's". "Schaum's" is the premier college course outline - the one that's been trusted by generations of students - the one that's sold over 30 million copies! This guide can be used as a supplement, to reinforce and strengthen the work you do with your class text. (It works well with any electrical engineering textbook). But it is so comprehensive that it can even be used alone as a complete electrical engineering independent study course!

Needs proofread, BADLY!
4 Nov 2003
Format:Paperback
I'm presently using this as a textbook in an into-level EE class. The book is a great concept - give a book of problems and enough information on the theory to solve them, including some step-by-step examples. And, sometimes, it works well. What kills it are the repeated glaring errors in the answers it gives for the questions - so far, I'd venture to say that, after the first couple chapters, more then 10% of the answers are wrong, be it from swapping a sign someplace or an outright mistake in understanding on the part of the person who solved the problem. This makes the book uterly and totally unacceptable - it has as much potential to damage someone's knowledge of electronics as to teach the person.

Poor execution of a good idea
18 July 2006
Format:Paperback
The idea was to have the essentials of AC/DC circuit analysis, linear circuits, electronic circuits, digital logic circuit design, electromechanical machines, and control theory in one handy outline. The problem is, any one of these subjects is way too complex and deep as it is presented in most universities for the book to be helpful for undergraduate electrical engineering students. Also, on the whole, this material is far from basic. The material on electromechanical machines and control theory is usually taught in junior or senior undergraduate courses.Thus, this book would be most helpful to a professional or someone returning to graduate school for a master's degree in electrical engineering who needs some review on material that they have previously mastered but possibly forgotten. Unfortunately, as the other reviewer pointed out, this book is chock full of errors, thus rendering the book pretty much useless in the problem solving department. If a revised second edition of this book ever comes out with corrections to all of the current errors, I would recommend it to the target audience I have already mentioned, but definitely not to undergraduate engineers who are seeing this material for the first time.

So I was having a lot of problems with my Electrical Circuits class, and desperately needed help... I saw this book, said it contained all the basics, easy to understand, blah blah blah...
Unfortunately it was just like my textbook... so it didn't have a positive nor negative effect on me... it acts like sparknotes... simply putall of the equations in a smaller book...
So if you're trying to have something condensed, get it... if you're trying to understand, seek help at the school because there are no books currently available to guide you step by step
