Title: Electricity and Basic Electronics by Stephen R. Matt ISBN: 1-56637-406-5 Publisher: Goodheart Wilcox Company Pub. Date: 01 July, 1997 Format: Hardcover Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $46.00 |
Average Customer Rating: 3 (2 reviews)
Rating: 1
Summary: An okay book with too many errors
Comment: While this book provides some good basic information, it has several serious errors. It covers good material and all the important topics for a beginning book. However, one of the most notable errors are a graph of current in an inductor on page 159, which does not match the circuit that is associated with it. Particularly, the current is shown decreasing gradually after the switch, which is in series with the inductor, is opened. Another problem is the statement that any two rectivier diodes can be paralleled and the current ratings will add, which is simply not true. These errors show a lack of careful writing and reviewing. I think this book is not worth the price and can be misleading.
Rating: 5
Summary: Good Basic text, easy to follow.
Comment: I am an Electronics Instructor at the Community College level. I have used this book for a number of years as the text in my introduction course. The course is for those who may work a little with electricity/electronics but won't be an electronics technician. The book is laid out in a very readable style, with good examples and problems. I reccommend it as a beginning text for those with an interest in Electronics. I should warn potential readers that some of the "sample Projects" will need modification to work. I also recommend the matching Lab Book.
