Description
Fundamentals of Electric Machines
Book Summary
This textbook offers a rigorous and essential introduction to the principles of electric machines, designed specifically for new university engineering degrees. The reader will find a clear exposition of theoretical foundations, free of oversimplifications, which prioritizes reasoning and the scientific method. The work belongs to the "Monografías útiles" (Useful Monographs) collection, a didactic resource that allows fundamental subjects to be addressed without sacrificing educational quality, adapting to the thematic fragmentation of current curricula.
What is it about?
The book addresses the core concepts of electric machines, providing the student with the necessary foundation to understand their operation and applications. Against the trend of reducing fundamental training in engineering degrees, this work defends an approach that replaces rote learning with deep reasoning.
