Rate this book
Irwin adopts a learn-by-doing approach with the aim of developing a thorough understanding of the fundamentals of circuit analysis and their application to real-world problems. The text presents material in as clear and detailed a manner as possible, combining thorough explanations and worked examples, drill problems and answers. This edition has been streamlined to make room for the many new real-world examples and problems. It places greater emphasis on circuit analysis in the context of the real world of electrical engineering; includes numerous applications oriented examples; incorporates sections on circuit design to broaden readers understanding; integrates PSpice throughout, offering an accompanying disk that contains all PSpice material from the text with additional examples and an introduction to Schematic Capture; adds new coverage of many topics; demonstrates the connection between the Bode plot and the S-plane; adds figures that display the range of voltage, current, etc; and integrates new illustrations of various electrical components.

Poignant read. This book--no, scripture, has the capacity to shake anyone to their soul and make them question the purpose of life, existence of god, and fundamental nature of our universe. A most vivid writing style is paired with stellar visual aids for an unparalleled reading experience. Brought tears to my eyes and bodily fluids out of numerous other orifices (mostly blood).

Also has a lot of pictures of circuits for some reason?

Not a well-written textbook at all. Writing is extremely convoluted and difficult to understand, which is too bad considering the importance of the topic. The answers are also very vague and skip most of the calculus, which can lead to problems when getting into the more advanced Laplace equations. I'm only giving this two stars because the questions were actually good and mentally stimulating.
