SUMMARY

"Electric Machinery Fundamentals" by Stephen Chapman is a comprehensive textbook that covers essential topics in electric machinery, including transformers, AC and DC machinery fundamentals, and various types of motors. The fifth edition integrates MATLAB® for enhanced problem-solving and includes thought-provoking exercises. Despite its strengths, the book lacks answers to the end-of-chapter questions, which may hinder self-study. This text is particularly suited for undergraduate and intermediate students in electrical engineering.

This book is informative. Only downfall is the lack of answers to questions following each chapter. I have yet to find a book that is similar in nature with answers.
