Synopses & Reviews
A "student-friendly" introduction to the basics of electric circuit analysis, this sophomore-level text covers traditional material, as well as such modern topics as op-amps and the use of digital computers for circuit analysis. The presentation is very lucid and thorough with clearer and more complete explanations of Kirchoff's laws, and nodal analysis than in comparable texts. Bobrow also places greater emphasis on signals and waveforms. This text features evaluation of initial conditions, phasor diagrams, and coverage of SPICE.
