This book is a good introductory text to the math used in electronics; it's a good introductory text to AC and DC circuit analysis; it also has a nice introduction to Boolean Algebra, which is important to digital electronics. If one is trying to review the basics of math, circuit analysis, and digital electronics, it's a good text for that as well. After a few years away from electronics, I'm using it for that purpose, and it's great! This book is a good introductory or refresher text.The topics are presented in clear, understandable language, which I like. The topics are presented in logical order; subsequent topics build upon previous topics. For example, after learning powers of ten, the prefixes (kilo, Mega, milli, etc.) are introduced. Because the student sees the relevance and need for what was learned, it gives him a desire and motivation to keep going; there's an immediate opportunity to apply what was learned. For that reason, I want to keep studying when using this book! The subject matter is presented quickly without making one feel overwhelmed. There are many examples of each topic, so one can see how problems are solved. Finally, there are many problems for the student to work. There are problem sets at the end of each section; there are self tests covering a few sections, which make for a good review; and there are end of chapter problems. That is to say that the student will have more than ample opportunity to master the subject matter to the point of feeling comfortable and confident with the material.The only quibble I had with the book was that, in some examples, steps were skipped; not all the work was shown. For example, on page 93, they left out a couple of steps with all the substitutions they used for G and R; that's the section where they solved for parallel resistances. This might not be the fault of the authors though. In college, I ran into this with one of my texts. I contacted the author and pointed this out to him. He said that he'd WANTED to include the intermediate steps I mentioned, but he said that the editors left them out to save on printing costs. That's a minor quibble though; it's just something to be aware of while working through the text.Overall, this is a GREAT book! It's been used for many years, and there's a reason for that; it's a great book that presents the subject matter well. It presents a good mix of topics for one who's either entering electronics, or for someone who's easing back in to it. The topics are presented in logical order, with everything building on what came before. The text moves along quickly without being overwhelming. It has a plethora of examples and practice problems; the student has more than ample opportunity to master the material. Some texts don't have enough practice exercises, leaving one feeling less than confident of subject mastery. That cannot be said about this outstanding book. For both those new to electronics and those returning to it, this book is a MUST HAVE on their bookshelf. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. Buy this book and use it; you'll be glad you did!
