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.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
This extremely student-friendly text uses a "just-in-time" format which develops circuit concepts and techniques at an introductory level before progressing to more sophisticated topics. Includes a brief discussion of the classical solution of differential circuit equations but the primary emphasis is on modern engineering methods such as phasors, network functions, Laplace transforms, and state equations. When a particular technique involves several parts, it is presented as a procedural algorithm enabling students to clearly perceive the successive steps. Contains over 200 worked examples, 240 exercises, and 1000+ problems.

Who would let this guy write a text book?,
By John "John" (Midwest) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Circuits: Engineering Concepts and Analysis of Linear Electric Circuits (Hardcover)
To start off, our university was in the process of revising its curriculum and decided to purchase this book for introductory to higher level circuit analysis. They made a horrible mistake. I have not heard any professor mention one GOOD thing about this book. I have however heard them mention several bad things about it and from first hand experience they are ALL true. First, this book is chalk full of errors. Not only complex calculation errors, but dumb ones. Errors that anyone with a PH.D should NOT be making, especially if your writing a text book for people to LEARN from. Second, the material in this book goes into so much math detail, its hard to get a firm grasp of any practical application. Not saying math is bad, however I am learning circuits aren't I!? Third, the answers in the back are only to "selected" problems. Every 10th or 15th problem, he will have an answer in the back, but NOT a full answer for everything that was asked for in the problem. How can you learn when you don't know if what you did was correct!? Fourth, he has no sense of humor or creativity for that matter. I'm not saying that he needs to be a "funny man", just make things (gasp)interesting. Lastly, I want to mention that this man in all likelyhood has no practical experience in electrical engineering. Maybe he built an A.M. radio back in 1892, but personally, I need to learn from someone who has a little more real life experience than that. Moreover, I suggest finding a different text book. Anything that doesn't bear the name "Bruce A. Carlson," to be specific.

Worst texbook ever,
By
This review is from: Circuit: Engineering Concepts and Analysis of Linear Electric Circuits (Paperback)
The fact that I was required to buy this book for a class is horrific. Several PAGES of corrections now have to be distributed at the begining of the class. The author, who also taught the class at RPI when I took it has no idea how to teach efectively, in writing or in person. As soon as he stopped teaching it, the cirriculum was changed and his text eliminated. If you have any choice in the matter, do not buy this book!

Not a very good book,

This review is from: Circuits: Engineering Concepts and Analysis of Linear Electric Circuits (Hardcover)
I have this book and it is very light in content and not very thorough. I would recommend Introductory Ciruit Analysis by Boylestead over Carlson any day
