Fundamentals of Electric Circuits

I don't know about Circuits books in German or French, but this one is by far the most educational circuits textbook written in English. The style is very student friendly, and in addition, the home work problems are very useful and pedagogically sound. (There are many texts which contain problems that are virtually unsolvable). I'm wondering how many engineering schools are already using this book? It certainly deserves a great degree of recognition, especially since the second edition (which has considerably improved) contains an interesting CD-ROM!

That's finally a book useful to a student. I really enjoyed the chaps on Laplace and Fourier transf. Problems + examples Carefully laid out. Great for self study.

I guess I must have tried out quite a couple INTRODUCTORY textbooks on Electric Circuits (and stumbled on numerous utterly non-sensical ones). This text by Alexander is quite new and for an introductory text, EXTREMELY readable. Undergraduate students should definitely try this one out - even Freshmen with some algebra background can read themselves into this book. Although I haven't tried out the interactive CD yet, I must say, the educational quality is almost superb. Regarding learning how to solve circuit problems, texts might not get any better than this. Just read and follow one or two examples - and you'll realize it yourself.

Compared to other standard circuit textbooks which are available out there, this one has done an excellent job. It is written in a readable style that is so rare among textbooks in this field. The flow from topic to topic is straightforwardly continuous and the reading can even be very enjoyable (especially the introduction to each chapter). I very much wish there were more circuit textbooks written like this one, so that you can read and learn by yourself. But very unfortunately, most of them are extremely unreadable and so untransparent in their presentation of fundamental concepts (you only have to take a look at texts such as Nilsson or even Dorf). For this reason, I think, Alexander's book deserves even more credit.

This is a very fine book. It explains the concepts very clearly and maybe used for signals too, when studying fourier and laplace transforms. The authors do a superb job and make challenging concepts sound easy for the student. Extremely organized and well prepared book.
