Fundamentals of Electric Circuits

Written for a two-semester or three-quarter course in linear circuit analysis, for students with the usual pre-requisites of physics and calculus, this second edition text (first, 2000) aims to be both engaging and clear. The emphasis is on problem-solving (odd-numbered answers are included). Arrangement is in three sections on DC circuits, AC circuits, and advanced circuit analysis. The computer circuit analysis program Spice is used throughout, and a brief tutorial on Matlab is appended. The included CD-ROM contains Multisim 2001, which allows students to create circuits, analyze prebuilt circuits, and work through virtual lab assigmments.
