Applied Introductory Circuit Analysis for Electrical and Computer Engineers [Hardcover]

Michael Reed (Author), Ronald Rohrer (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 18, 1998 | ISBN-10: 0137876319 | ISBN-13: 978-0137876310 | Edition: 1st

This ground breaking text offers an alternative to the standard scheme to teaching circuit theory, for introductory, circuit courses taught to all engineering majors. Using a top-down approach and focusing on a single system application, it motivates the reader to see circuit theory as more than a dry, abstract set of ideas. In answering the application theme, "what limits the speed of a digital system," the reader sees the relationship between a set of basic physical principles and their application to a system they are familiar with (i.e., a personal computer).

Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

FEATURES

• Provides a practical context for every technique, principle, and discussion which helps to understand the relationship between a set of basic physical principles and their application to a system with which they are familiar.
• Coverage of a limited number of topics. In this way, the text concentrates on a core set of topics.
• Introduces topics "just in time" when they are needed for the digital systems theme. In this way, readers benefit by concentrating on important, immediately useful techniques rather than information they might use someday.
• Provides mathematical examples worked out in their entirety.
• All examples use realistic component values: kilohms, picofarads, and millihenrys rather than ohms, farads, and henrys.
