Probability, Statistics, and Random Processes For Electrical Engineering (3rd Edition)

I am a senior in Computer Science and this book was used as a text book for our Probability class. Our class was very unhappy with it. The author is a very intelligent person, but our class had a hard time keeping up with him. Many of the complex problems refer to equations, tables, and more importantly previous problems that had been touched briefly on 20 or more pages previously. All of the tables were given only once and in a few cases, Chapter 5 problems have you flipping back to Chapter 3 just to read a table. This meant we were constantly flipping pages back and forth to try and read the material.There were also errors in the book that I couldn't believe hadn't been caught by now. Many of the errors are difficult to catch as a student because they fall in equation definitions that are only given once. One error had a double integral misdefined.The author also assumes that the students can identify Taylor series expansions, geometric, and e^x by solving discrete summations, which to be honest I would have appreciated the author going thru at least one example, or giving the student some tips on identifying these.The notation in this book is also confusing. Many of the problems deal with finding the double integral of a function that invloves 'x' and 'y' yet the author uses X and Y to denote a random variable from the respective functions, therefore the book is riddled with equations that sometimes have x, X, and x' all meaning completely different things. This was extremely…


The Digital Information Age: An Introduction to Electrical Engineering

Despite the authorship of a Yalie, this textbook serves as an excellent introduction to the wonderful world of electical engineering for the liberal arts student. It is mostly useless for those already familiar with the basic concepts behind signals and systems. Nevertheless, the majority of the population that is unfamiliar with the world of EE could definitely benefit from this text. I personally found very easy to understand, almost childish, but that is because it served as the text for a much harder course at Princeton. The reason the course at Yale which this book was made for is so popular is because it is a complete gut class. Although I am inclined to write this book off, the unfortunate lack of tech-savvy among much of the populace necessitates this book. It should provide a cure for most who read it.


Fundamentals of Signals and Systems (Electrical and Computer Engineering; Book & CD-ROM)

I am of course biased: I wrote this textbook exactly as I needed it for my courses. But why write a new textbook on signals and systems? There are at least 20 out there covering more or less the same material... In a nutshell: Value to the student and engineer. I had two objectives in preparing this book: (1) clarity to enhance learning (by presenting one concept at a time, providing detailed solutions, using lots of figures and learnware applets, etc.) and (2) low cost to the student. I think (2) has been achieved, and I'll let the readers judge (1)!


Electrical Power Equipment Maintenance and Testing, Second Edition (Power Engineering (Willis))

Text book is easier to read and understand than prevision edition. This text is in laymen terms and provide more usable information for the journeyman technician


Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering

This is the most intuitive and well organized text on the subject i have ever reviewed. The online resources that accompany this book are well worth the price alone. I found that this edition is much more comprehenive and uptodate than any previous edition. I am glad to see that Mc Graw Hill has added so much work to keep up with developments in science.


Electrical Engineering: Principles and Applications (5th Edition)

this book has a lot of potential. As a college student, I must say that this book really stinks. The in-text examples do not represent what is needed to do the homework. Also, there is no way to check answers to the homework problems as there are no solutions in the back and a solutions manual is not available. The lack of solutions makes this book very difficult to use.


PE Sample Questions and Solutions: Electrical and Computer Engineering (Book & CD-ROM)

I passed the PE (the first time around) recently. These sample questions are very helpful and help determine whether you are ready for the PE exam. To help others in their preparation, I generated a sample exam for the morning session (klkaiser). This sample exam, and the complete solutions, are free and provided as pdf's.


The Electric Power Engineering Handbook, Second Edition (Electrical Engineering Handbook)

If you want to really study in detail power systems this is a book for you


Principles & Practice of Electrical Engineering: The Most Efficient and Authoritative Review Book for the PE License Exam

The textbook covers a wide range of ee and the practice problems are good, but the solutionsare very hard to understand.


National Electrical Code 2011 Handbook (International Electric Code Series)

Great book, the regular version is very...stale.This one livens it up a bit, and I really like the pictures & examples. A bit pricey...but It's worth it.


Foundations of Electrical Engineering, 2nd Edition

4 of 11 people found the following review helpful: 2.0 out of 5 starsMostly useless to any EE, June 6, 2003 By A CustomerThe style is pretty basic and bland. It provides not a whole lot of material. It could probably be condensed to a smaller text if it were more concise and instructive


Electric Power Distribution Handbook (Electric Power Engineering Series)

The tables that are images are so small that nothing can be discerned. Tables that are text are formatted incorrectly such that there are no columns; each entry of the table appears on its own line. It might not be a problem for reading a novel, but for textbooks, it's unacceptable.


Power System Protection (IEEE Press Series on Power Engineering)

This book is recommended for academics and researchers.This book size is really big and it covers many things .It covers a lot of mathematics derivations . I will not recommend this book for practising engineers.Because it is more research oriented , it is not of much use for practical field engineers .One engineer will need a lot of time to grasp the material from this book .Sometimes one will feel he is lost in the forest.


Computer Arithmetic: Algorithms and Hardware Designs (The Oxford Series in Electrical and Computer Engineering)

Excellent book if you want to get into DETAILS of computer arithmetic and its hardware implementation.The lecture style is great as it becomes easy to take breaks in between. It also makes the text very modular, allowing you to choose and read.It has plenty of diagrams making the text very readable. I like the circle diagrams that the author has used to show the number representation system.


Electrical Engineering: Principles and Applications (4th Edition)

this book has a lot of potential. As a college student, I must say that this book really stinks. The in-text examples do not represent what is needed to do the homework. Also, there is no way to check answers to the homework problems as there are no solutions in the back and a solutions manual is not available. The lack of solutions makes this book very difficult to use.
