Summary: really really really bad book
Comment: From a new grad student's perspective, i have to say that this book is absolutely terrible!! The writers provided NO useful examples in the chapters and for the examples that are there, they never showed how they generated the results. Its pretty obvious that these guys are not interested in teaching and that very little thought was put into this book. I would recommend this book be banned from the classroom!

Summary: Notation confusing to a non-engineer
Comment: Overall this is a good book in terms of coverage and explanation of methods. My background is in math and physics, however, so sudden shifts of notation (avoidable with just a few lines of explanation) lose me. In chapter 4 we find "The transmission network consists of complex impedances" followed by a definition of the network Y matrix. But wait: the Y matrix is defined in terms of a y value for each line. What is the y value for a line? Is it an impedance? No, it's an admittance, but the text doesn't mention that conceptual inversion. Another example is in problem 4.2 of the same chapter. This problem contains a diagram with values of X for each transmission line. What is X? It looks like it should be Y, judging from the previous problem. But wait, there are no capacitors in our problem diagram, so it's not clear. I scan through the preceding chapter for some variable whose standard notation is X. No luck. This makes an otherwise conceptually clear and methodologically informative book VERY frustrating, at least for those of us not steeped in the typical notation of power systems analysis.
Rating: 4
Summary: Software code
Comment: The code that goes with this book uses Pascal. This is difficult as it is hard to get Pascal compiler nowadays. It would be useful if it was written in C. The authors do not have a website for this book. They could have put errata, comments from purchasers and book updates, etc.
