This classic text has been thoroughly revised by a new co-author, Steve Durbin of University of Canterbury. A new organization and emphasis on problem-solving, practical applications, and design make this book a perfect update of the 5th edition
William (Bill) Hart Hayt, Jr. earned his Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Electrical Engineering from Purdue and his Ph.D. from the University of Illinois. He served on several boards and committees. He retired from Purdue in 1986 as Professor Emeritus of Electrical Engineering.
This was the most important book I read for my EE degree. Well written, using an exceptional pedagogic method of a couple of answered questions every few pages of text. It also clarified a lot about calculus, which I was studying simultaneously. Fourier analysis, matrix applications, Laplace transforms. This is the foundation, not only for EE, but for system analysis in general.
Though I'm not finished wit the book as of yet, I can say that this book is very likely the best circuits book I have had the pleasure of studying from. Now I will say, however, that you need a good background in Calculus and Differential Equations in order to understand and work through the practice problems this book contains; trust me they are very difficult. So if you are looking for a book that will allow you to memorize a few equations and move-on, well.....move-on, because this book will not be what you are looking for. But one thing you can rest assured knowing is that once you have completed this book you will have a very good understanding of the How, Why, Where, and What of EE circuit analysis.
you could quickly conclude that book is pretty self contained and self explanatory. At that time I quickly realized, the book is all about Maxwell's four equations.
A gem of a book. Very elegantly the author has explained the basic lessons in Electrical Engineering i.e. from Ohm's Law to Network Analysis. I bought a few technical books in my grad studies and this was one of them.
This book was terrible when i saw, i felt very painful. :(. Unfortunately i had to use this because of the professor,As a senior student Nilsson is better to handle the fundamentals of the electrical engineering.
