 riddled with errors Aug 06, 2009
By Sean D. Moffitt
"uSeR 35o07"
This book is really hard to follow for people with any experiance in electronics and math.
I worked through the first end of chapter test and found 6 out of the 25 answers in the the
back to be wrong. Then as I was reading through the second chapter the author kept using the
equal sign in the formulals showing two things equal that were not. I was really dissapointed
because the layout of the book looks really clean and straight forward.

 Was there a technical editor? Dec 29, 2007
By Waldo
Upon first sight it appeared to be a solid text, but after getting past the first several pages there were enough typos, inaccurate calculations and blatantly wrong information that I promptly returned the book to its seller. I cannot recommend this text for anyone that will actually rely upon it for solid information.

 Calc Manual for Working Electricians Jan 05, 2007
By The Grey Mage
This is a well crafted manual for working electricians as well as the text book for calculations classes it was originally written for.
An excellent resource for apprentice studies as well as the experienced pro studying for his masters.
This book could benefit from a good proof-read but the information is valid.

This book is a disaster, Jul 15, 2010
By Andrew L. Frazier
Unbelievable, I am not even an electrician, but I noticed inconsistencies in the book that confused me in the first couple of pages. I cannot believe this got to print. This is supposed to be a resource! It's inexcusable.
The first problem I noticed, was that the answer on page 8 for number 2 was wrong, it mistook the amperage in the problem as being six when, in the page just before it has 5 written for amps. So the answer guide gives you the wrong answer. I'm only on the 8th page and I'm starting to doubt this is a good enough resource for me to rely upon. When I am learning something, I like to have a resource I can rely upon. McGraw Hill owes me a refund.
The second and most shocking one I found was on page 6; it says "watts/ohms = amperage", when its actually watts/volts = amperage:. In the diagram above, it clearly contradicts what's written right below! Even if you read the line underneath you can clearly see that there is a glaring problem because its says sqrt(watts/ohms) = amps. It clearly can't be both.

good book Aug 22, 2006

"belongamik"
I wish I had this book my first year of ELCs, it would have saved me a very big headache. This has all the primary calculations you need to get you thru to a two yr.degree.
