Reader Reviews
Dr. Bala, the co-author speaks perfect English, I know first hand, and the book is written in proper English as well, though I have seen some very minor gramatical mistakes consistent with the way he speaks. The lay out of the book was planned to best serve an introductory course for power engineering. It is not intended to function as a stand-alone guide. That being said, the book does have example problems, with complete solutions (not just answers). The authors' intent in writing a text with so many problems and few solutions was both for students to learn to derive solutions to problems, and to provide teachers with a broad spectrum of problems covering a variety of conceptual nuances which would be easy for someone understanding the topic to relate to students. In this manner students are forced to ask questions, gain intuition, and a genuine understanding for how to approach problems without relying on methodologies that comprehensive solutions would provide. It is a book not intended for technicians, but for understanding at the engineering level.
