Well written
BASIC CIRCUITS ANALYSIS - 2nd Edition - O'Malley

Not a bad book for students confronting analog circuit analysis for the 1st time. The book should also provide a comfortable review for someone who has been away from the subject for awhile

It is obvious that some thought went into this work. The book is without calculus, but the EE student should appreciate the crisp & clean presentation & find it a good companion to a more advanced course. It is often the insight & approach to solving these basic analog circuit analysis problems that are most important at this time & this book should help in that regard. As opposed to many technical books by this publisher, I found few errors; however I have not worked many of the problems - which are numerous. The book follows the Schaum Outline format: bare-bones introduction of a subject with some of the meat contained in the problems. This can result in one needing another sentence or two in the text to fill a hold, as in the chapter on Phasors, for example.

I do think the PSpice circuit analysis is over played a bit. The author does introduce the old MS-DOS text based system (with little explanation) where circuit node files must be written, compiled & run. I suspect that since Windows 95 & the wide distribution of PSpice 8.0 with the schematic capture front end, these more recent & useful features would now be in use in most institutions & work places.

However, the book is well worth the price & covers most of the subjects usually encountered in a 1st semester course of beginning analog circuit analysis plus a good introduction to Op-Amps. I recommend the book.

Ground Zero Review
This book is an excellent starting point for the basics of electrical engineering. 30 years after graduating, I started with this book in preparing for the Professional Engineering exam. Many problems, with solutions, which solidifies the basic theory.

The best $15 I have ever spent!

Schaum's Outline of Basic Circuit Analysis by O'Malley
This work contains many classic problems in the basic concepts,
resistance, temperature, series and parallel circuits,
bridging,operational amps, capacitors, inductors, sinusoidal
alternating voltage and current, complex algebra and phasors,
AC circuits, loops/nodals, power in AC circuits, transformers,
three-phase circuits, balanced loads and many classic areas
on the EIT examination. The work has a fairly comprehensive
treatment of operational amplifiers for the EIT exam.
EIT exam takers must review the Supplied Reference Manual
in electronics and utilize the engineering calculator effectively.
