Editorial Review:
Irwin's Basic Engineering Circuit Analysis has built a solid reputation for its highly accessible presentation, clear explanations, and extensive array of helpful learning aids. Now in a new Eighth Edition, this highly-accessible book has been fine-tuned and revised, making it more effective and even easier to use. It covers such topics as resistive circuits, nodal and loop analysis techniques, capacitance and inductance, AC steady-state analysis, polyphase circuits, the Laplace transform, two-port networks, and much more.

For over twenty years, Irwin has provided readers with a straightforward examination of the basics of circuit analysis, including:

Using real-world examples to demonstrate the usefulness of the material.
Integrating MATLAB throughout the book and includes special icons to identify sections where CAD tools are used and discussed.
Offering expanded and redesigned Problem-Solving Strategies sections to improve clarity.
A new chapter on Op-Amps that gives readers a deeper explanation of theory.
A revised pedagogical structure to enhance learning.

- An okay book, that becomes very good with a little trick..
The book is quite okay concerning the explaining and teaching, and considering it's an introduction. (If you want diodes, transistors, etc search elsewhere! (Sedra/Smith?))

But the thing is: each of the fifteen chapters has about 70 exercises. And if you began learning this stuff, you know it: you'll always forget a term in the equations or switch a minus for a plus sign, etc.. The solutions are not on the book, but they do exist, and if your an instructor you may log in the site and ... Read More

- This is the worst book I have ever used in my enitire college career.
This book was awful. Concepts are confusing, examples are lacking, and most of the homework problems do not represent the material taught in the revelant chapter.

This book is terrible in getting across concepts and procedures relating to a variety of problems. One or two examples didn't help me work 20 hw problems, and on top of this the solutions aren't in the back of the book. you have to go on their website to get any supplementary material (which sucks just as bad). It will take ... Read More

- This book is horrible!
This is the book we're reading in my first EE class, and it sucks. Maybe if I had a great professor that actually taught and walked us through the practice problems it wouldn't be so frustrating, but he doesn't, and it makes trying to go through the book EXTREMELY difficult.

There are huge gaps in information that show up in assigned problems, which I understand can help reinforce the learning process, but there are books that do it effectively and then there's this piece of crap. ... Read More

- POOR BOOK
I am forced to buy this book because my class requires it. Otherwise I wouldn't have bought this book. I can get better than or as good as this book for quarter of its price. The answer to problems doesn't come with the book (not a SINGLE solution to any of the problems) so there's no way of checking if you're finding a corrent solution to the problem which is most important aspect of learning. SO WATCH OUT BEFORE YOU BUY! (As u know most science books provide a odd number solutions to check the answers ... Read More

- Excelent for anyone studying the basics of circuit analysis
Like the title itself says, this is an introductory book on Circuit Analysis. In the first year of my engineering graduation, I used this book for the subject of Basic Circuit Analysis and found it to be extremely helpful. I think I can even say that this book made my life a lot easier, since the author - J. David Irwin - did a very good job on explaining concepts and circuit analysis basic methods and laws very clearly.
The book is very well structred, objective and and the subjects are easily understandable ... Read More
