Who was Syed Abu Nasar?

He was born in India and got his doctorate in Electrical Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley in 1963. His research concerned electric motors. He served as the chair of the Electrical Engineering department at the University of Kentucky from 1989 to 1997. He was a Life Fellow of the IEEE and the recipient of the 2000 IEEE Nikola Tesla Award.

Unfortunately, one of his most widely published books, Schaum's Electric Power Systems is riddled with errors. The publisher McGraw Hill has not published an errata for this book; see however the links below.
