Fundamentals of Electric Circuits Description
Alexander and Sadiku's fifth edition of
Fundamentals of Electric Circuits continues in the spirit of its successful previous editions, with the objective of presenting circuit analysis in a manner that is clearer, more interesting, and easier to understand than other, more traditional texts. Students are introduced to the sound,
six-step problem solving methodology in chapter one, and are consistently made to apply and practice these steps in practice problems and homework problems throughout the text.
A balance of theory, worked examples and extended examples, practice problems, and real-world applications, combined with over 468 new or changed homework problems for the fifth edition and robust media offerings, renders the fifth edition the most comprehensive and student-friendly approach to linear circuit analysis.
This edition retains the Design a Problem feature which helps students develop their design skills by having the student develop the question as well as the solution. There are over 100 Design a Problem exercises integrated into the problem sets in the book.

This book would be great if it weren't for all of the mistakes in the solutions, so instead it is complete garbage. I have wasted hours trying to figure out why my answer is wrong when really they just didn't put the correct answer at the end of the problem. Our circuits teacher sends out warnings every few days that there is a mistake in the book. This is criminal, especially for a fifth edition (which FYI is exactly the same as the fourth edition, save yourself some money). There are several mistakes in each chapter.

As a student who has just entered the vast world of electrical engineering, its essential to develop a strong foundation in circuits and systems to progress further. This book is a major catalyst in doing so. Lot of the times we read a bunch of theory which we think we understand and then move on to the examples to test ourselves but we find it quite a struggle. It isn't the case with this book. First of all, the theory is explained very concisely with a plethora of diagrams, followed by examples with thorough explanations'. I've found from past experience that the theory may have been explained to a reasonable degree but the following worked examples were quite simple with a whole lot of math with very little explanation. Because I couldn't see the theory being put in practice well enough, I struggled to solve the end-of-chapter exercises ending up with knowledge falling short of the acceptable threshold, this is the key. In this book the worked examples aren't that simple, but it isn't too difficult to follow particularly because they're explained very well, making the end-of-chapter exercises manageable.
I had lecturers who throughout the semester, didn't get the concepts across that easily which generally means you're in a lot of trouble, but I had this book so I was never in any danger, and so, I recommend this book to anyone starting in electrical engineering, or for a refresher!
