This text allows students to learn the fundamental concepts in linear circuit analysis using a well-developed methodology that has been carefully refined through classroom use. Applying his many years of teaching experience, A. Bruce Carlson focuses the reader's attention on basic circuit concepts and modern analysis methods. He systematically unfolds each idea, covering studies of node and mesh equations, phasors, the s-domain, Fourier series, Laplace transforms and state variables in a practical "just-in-time" manner. In applying his methodology for study and understanding, each chapter begins with a list of action-oriented learning objectives and follows through to a summary of the major relevant points and relationships. He also provides students with an abundance of practical, worked examples and exercises to help them master the topics.
* The author's approach supports the teaching of basic circuits concepts before students attempt design problems
* Linear circuit analysis concepts are developed carefully from an introductory level before proceeding to higher abstractions
* Clear and understandable instructional objectives guide students through each chapter, and chapter summaries reiterate key points
* Useful and practical exercises and problems including 1,000 end of chapter problems (100+ involving design oriented calculations), 240 student exercises, and over 200 detailed examples to illustrate topics
* Separate Appendixes on Matrix Algebra, PSpice, and MATLAB? show how to apply these computational techniques and tools to circuit analysis problems
* Unique Instructor's Resource Guide contains PSpice Simulations, Laboratory Experiments, Alternative Examples, Transparency Masters and Test Questions with Solutions
* Emphasis on modern engineering techniques, such as phasors, network functions, Laplace transforms, and state equations
* Several real-world examples are integrated throughout the text to simulate student motivation. These examples often feature design considerations
* The text has been organized with optional topics in self-contained sections or chapters to allow instructors maximum flexibility
