LOW
I did ordered the book from Amazon.com and the seller of the book was thrift book store. But the book I received was wrong and the seller doesn't want full refund of my money that I paid for and doesn't want to exchange or swap with the correct book without paying any money. So rating would be low.
Not the best, but not bad
This book contains everything that you need to learn the subject. However, IT HAS MANY ERRORS IN EQUATIONS AND ANSWERS TO SAMPLE PROBLEMS! The author or publisher just didn't take the time to check for mistakes as well as you would expect from this type of book. Also, I feel that the book is a little disorganized, and jumps around a bit too much for my taste. Also, the formating could be updated as well. Not many terms are defined in bold, nor equations seperated from the text very well. It kinda all blends together. Again, I think that the book teaches and contains all that you would expect it too, I just think it needs some modern touces to bring it into the same class as most "modern" textbooks. (It seems like the appearance and formating are the same as they were in the first edition, except any errors and typos have been fixed in the following editions.)
MATHEMATICS CONTENT
SOME CONTENTS OF THE BOOK ARE:
Topics include Mathematics: (hereafter "M"), a language, a tool, a teacher; Calculators and Computers to help you study M; Algebra- General numbers; Algebra- Addition and Subtraction; Polynomials; Signs of Grouping; Equations; Powers of 10; Units and dimensions; Ohm's Law- Series Circuits; Resistance- Wire Sizes; Special Product and Factoring; Algebraic Fractions; Fractional Equations; Ohm's Law- Parallel Circuits; Meter Circuits; Divider Circuits and Wheatstone Bridges; Graphs; Simultaneous Equations; Determinants; Batteries; Exponents and Radicals; Quadratic Equations; Network Simplification; Angles; Trigonometric Functions; Trigonometric Values; Solution of Right Triangles; Trigonometric Identities and Equations; Elementary Plane Vectors; Periodic Functions; Alternating Currents- Fundamental Ideas; Phasor Algebra; Alternating Currents- Series Circuits; Alternating Currents- Parallel Circuits; Logarithms; Applications of Logarithms; Number Systems for Computers; Boolean Algebra; Karnaugh Maps; and much more! This book is geared towards the students of electricity, radio, electronics, and computers, whose need is to have an understanding of M principles directly applicable to electrical and electronic circuits. Just as a carpenter that build a building with a tape measure and skilsaw, the engineer employs M as their primary tool. Maybe this book is for you. Depending on competition, you may be able to get it at a price that's right for you.
