  Designed for use in a one or two-semester Introductory Circuit Analysis or Circuit Theory Courses taught in Electrical or Computer Engineering Departments.

   

  The most widely used introductory circuits textbook. Emphasis is on student and instructor assessment and the teaching philosophies remain:

          - To build an understanding of concepts and ideas explicitly in terms of previous learning

          - To emphasize the relationship between conceptual understanding and problem solving approaches

          - To provide students with a strong foundation of engineering practices.
