very good explanations,
be better if the maths part was set out seperately like on a blackboard instead of being part of the text,
makes the maths harder to follow,
one or two mistakes with the maths as well,
but all in all a very good book to learn about electricity and electronics

This book provides a good grounding in electronic and electrical fundamentals.
It covers the physics and mathematics behind the basic concepts in a concise way. By providing several worked examples for each mathematical concept this book really helped comprehend the subject in a way no book had previously.
As you may expect, this book provides less detail in the latter chapters in exchange for a broad overview of concepts beyond the basics.
I feel like this has left me with a good understanding of the basics from which to build.

I read this book to learn something about electronics. It is systematic and has good end of chapter revisions. It is a good text for someone without a scientific background. I found it a little plodding; but I suspect the intention was to be thorough. I liked the practical advice on current technologies. Overall it is a useful text book.
