Résumé

For courses in Introductory Circuits for Electrical and Computer Engineers.

Introductory Circuits for Electrical and Computer Engineering is a one-semester version of Electric Circuits, the most widely used introductory circuits textbook of the past decade. The one-semester version has retained the three themes which made Electric Circuits so successful, namely (1) It builds an understanding of concepts based on information the student has previously learned; (2) The text helps stress the relationship between conceptual understanding and problem-solving approaches; (3) The authors provide numerous examples and problems that use realistic values and situations to give students a strong foundation of engineering practice.
