Introduction ENGINEERING cIRCUIT ANALYSIS has a long tradition of helping students develop a students develop a strong intuitive understanding of linear circuit analysis. The 6th edition continues that tradition and retains the philosophy that problem-solving can be fun. Electrical Engineering concepts are made clear through the authors' use of many practical examples, expanded explanatins of important topics, and the addition of new material. Key features The treatment of basic (dc) circuit analysis has been greatly expanded from two chapters to six chapters and includes a separate chapter on operational amplifier. Practical Application section have been added to every chapter to provide a connection between theory and the real world PSpice and MATLAB examples have been introduced at appropriate places in many chapters. A supplemental CD-ROM, called Virtual Professor, is packaged with the book. The Virtual Professor is a tool designed to help students grasp important, and often difficult, concepts found in the book. There are 10 tutorials on the Virtual Professor is a tool designed to help students grasp important,and often difficult, concepts found in the book. There are 10 tutorials on the Virtual Professor CD for topics including Using KCL and KVL to analysis problems, circuit analysis using PSpice, Phasor analysis problems, circuit analysis using PSpice, Phasor analysis problems, etc. Table of contents Chapter 1Circuit Analysis and Electrical Engineering Chapter 2Basic Components and Electric Circuits Chapter 3Voltage and Current Laws Chapter 4Basic Nodal and Mesh Analysis Chapter 5Useful Circuit Analysis Techniques Chapter 6The Operational Amplifier Chapter 7Capacitators and Inductors Chapter 8Basic RL and RC Circuits Chapter 9The RL and RC Circuits Chapter 10Sinusoidal Steady-State Analysis Chapter 11AC Power Circuit Analysis Chapter 12Polyphase Circuits Chapter 13Magnetically Coupled Circuits Chapter 14Complex Frequency and the Laplace Transform Chapter 15

This was the most important book I read for my EE degree. Well written, using an exceptional pedagogic method of a couple of answered questions every few pages of text. It also clarified a lot about calculus, which I was studying simultaneously. Fourier analysis, matrix applications, Laplace transforms. This is the foundation, not only for EE, but for system analysis in general.

Though I'm not finished wit the book as of yet, I can say that this book is very likely the best circuits book I have had the pleasure of studying from. Now I will say, however, that you need a good background in Calculus and Differential Equations in order to understand and work through the practice problems this book contains; trust me they are very difficult. So if you are looking for a book that will allow you to memorize a few equations and move-on, well.....move-on, because this book will not be what you are looking for. But one thing you can rest assured knowing is that once you have completed this book you will have a very good understanding of the How, Why, Where, and What of EE circuit analysis.

you could quickly conclude that book is pretty self contained and self explanatory. At that time I quickly realized, the book is all about Maxwell's four equations.

A gem of a book. Very elegantly the author has explained the basic lessons in Electrical Engineering i.e. from Ohm's Law to Network Analysis. I bought a few technical books in my grad studies and this was one of them.

This book was terrible when i saw, i felt very painful. :(. Unfortunately i had to use this because of the professor,As a senior student Nilsson is better to handle the fundamentals of the electrical engineering.

I only read half of this for university study.
At times i found it confusing...
And at times easy.
It was okay overall.

The best book on basics circuit design and analysis. It even has some humor in it.
