Book Reviews of Electricians Calculations Manual
Book Review: Needs work
Summary: 2 Stars
Do not employ this book as your primary reference tool for the subject of electrician's math -- doing so will only lead to frustration as you struggle aimlessly to determine why your answer does not match that in the book. Not all of the answers are incorrect, most are right on target. However, there are enough typos and mathematical calculation errors within to cause the sanest reader to ask in befuddlement, "where did that come from?"
My suggestion: do not buy this book until the revised version is available; or, if you're like me, and can't or won't wait, find another more accurate text.
Book Review: riddled with errors
Summary: 2 Stars
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.
Book Review: Calc Manual for Working Electricians
Summary: 4 Stars
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.
Book Review: Was there a technical editor?
Summary: 1 Stars
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.Book Review: Very impressed
Summary: 5 Stars
A very good manual to keep on the jobsite. Quick and easy to find calculations within, a must have for every electrician, wether a JIT, Journeyman, or Master. I was very impressed with the manual for the money. Now I have everyone at work asking to borrow it.
