A good elementary introduction

This book would seem to be aimed at the beginning student of electricity/electronics. The level of mathematics required is a mastery of algebra and some trigonometry, no calculus knowledge is required although the author does use (effectively I think) calculus concepts in a few places. There are many problems with answers to the even numbered problems. This book would be particularly good for a person who is trying to learn this subject without the benefit of a formal class because it explains in great detail and as I mentioned provides many problems with solutions. Caveat! I have not delved deeply enough into the book to have a sense of how many errors there are in the problems and their solutions. This is often a rather serious problem with textbooks. The "textbook binding" is a very cheap sort. Overall this is a good book and a good buy. Ralph J. Pledger, Ph.D.
