Linear Circuit Analysis provides concise and practical treatment of the basics of circuits suitable for undergraduates. Whilst mathematical rigour is not sacrificed, the book is written in an easily-readable style and also covers many topics from a practical, non-mathematical perspective. For those lecturers that wish to explore other teaching methods, the later chapters offer an introduction to the topological method of analysis.

The text is ideal for a first course in circuits as the text starts by recapping basics such as Ohm's law before covering the nodal/mesh approach to circuit analysis. As such it equips students with effective analytical skills which will form a solid basis for the rest of their electronic engineering course.

Key Features

• covers the traditional 'nodal and mesh' approach to circuit analysis thoroughly and rigorously from first principles
• explains modern topological techniques of analysis to illustrate an alternative non-mathematical approach to the subject
• provides detailed practical descriptions of procedures for PSpice (for Windows) analysis which will provide a firm foundation for further use of computer simulation
• examples are used to clarify concepts and illustrate analysis methods
• includes a comprehensive collection of appendices summarising relevant mathematical techniques and providing a 'glossary of terminology' useful for quick reference
• supported by on-line schematic PSpice files
