Description
Book SynopsisFirst published in 1959, Herbert Jackson's Introduction to Electric Circuits is a core text for introductory circuit analysis courses taught in electronics and electrical engineering technology programs. Praised for its clarity and accessibility and its comprehensive problem sets, the text set the standard for introductory circuit texts in this country and now distinguishes itself as the most accessible, student-friendly circuits text available.
Trade ReviewA magnificent book. . . easy to follow, clear, practical, complete." * Mihai Antonescu, John Abbott College *
The general layout and structure of the text is conducive to autonomous learning. The shorter chapter design provides a 'mentally digestible' quantity of learning that is more likely to fit in a student's available schedule, thus helping them avoid the perils of procrastination." * Denard Lynch, University of Saskatchewan *
The organization of the book allows the reader to gradually acquire concepts. It is visually appealing, and the concepts are easily found throughout." * Laura Curiel, Lakehead University *
The major strength of Electric Circuits is the variation in difficulty level of the assigned problems at the end of each chapter section." * Terry Moschandreou, Fanshawe College *
