Electrical engineering without prior knowledge: Understand the basics within 7 days (Become an Engineer Without Prior Knowledge)

This book is very informative and easy to read.

It's a good book as a refresh (particularly for me having done physics and maths A levels a very long time ago). I don't think anyone without a similar background would be able to follow much. However, some of the explanations are rushed and there are jumps in derivations too. For example, the explanations on transistors were unclear. Apart from that, I came to realise during reading that it must be a translation from German since I (coincidentally as a translator) was familiar with and noticed many mistranslations (e.g. "Welle" as "wave" instead of "shaft", "capacity" instead of "capacitance", and more). I even spotted the German "bzw", which is an abbreviation for "beziehungsweise". I'd give 3.5 stars, but don't seem to be able to.

Good introduction for those without Electrical Engineering degree knowledge! Got this to teach me the basics and it has done in an interesting and easy to understand way. Will be refering back to it lots also.

Quality book that’s fairly easy to read and understand and very informative.

This book packs so much in just 150 pages, it’s a great insight into what’s to come for my studies. Technical illustrations really helped to explain complex theories.

I hold an honours degree in electrical and electronic engineering. I have taught the subject at FE and HE level. This is a useful text and a great leveller for students from different backgrounds.

Bought this to supplement the electronics section of my amateur radio course. Technically sound but poor editing. Appears to me that it has been translated from German and not proof read. Disapointing.

Reading this book reminds of being in a uni lecture. Only this time it's not boring and I can understand what's being said!

The author has made electrical theory simple and understandable. Vey well written.

A really good book. I was able to learn an enormous amount and get a lot of added value out of this book. I am very satisfied with the purchase and can only recommend it in good conscience. Simply great!

If you've forgotten Calculus or never taken it, this distills the critical math you need to know to move forward with electronics/electricity. Same with the fundamentals of electronics. While some areas could use more explanations (historical anecdotes are always helpful), the fact that all of the critical and fundamental concepts are brought to one place so that you know what to study deeper is what makes this book an excellent read. It's almost a cliff notes book on refreshing the basics, but goes deeper to help concepts click. You won't be designing circuits from this book - think of it more like an EE fundamentals course book - a college EE freshman book. It's quite well written.

Not obsessively detailed and mathematical but keeps to the point and provides examples with explanations. Thank you for this wonderful book.

Love the book, just what I wanted
