Irwin uses an effective learn-by-doing approach to develop a thorough understanding of the fundamentals of circuit analysis and their application to real-world problems. The text presents material in as clear and detailed a manner as possible, combining thorough explanations and worked examples, drill problems and answers. The Fifth Edition has been streamlined to make room for the many new real-world examples and problems.
NO RESISTANCE! Over the last two decades, Irwin's BASIC ENGINEERING CIRCUIT ANALYSIS has built a solid reputation for its highly accessible presentation, clear explanations, and extensive array of helpful learning aids. No other circuits text does a better job of removing resistances that stand between you and a successful first course in circuits analysis!
Now in a new Seventh Edition - and itst first Wiley edition - this student-frirendly text has been fine tuned and revised, making it more effective and even easier to use. New features includes:
- New and revised pedagogy. The author and Wiley's editors have completely reworked the text's pedagogical structure to enhance your understanding of the material.
- A Learning Styles Survey to help you determine your individual learning style and effectively use the various learning aids within the text and supplements.
- Real-world problems. Many new example problems address practical design issues and applications, and a remarkable variety of end-of-chapter problems range from basic to advanced.
- Superior coverage of MATLAB. MATLAB is completely integrated throughout the text and the Student Study Guide. Special icons identify sections where CAD tools are used and discussed.
- The Problem Solving Companion features carefully selected problems for every chapter with every step and solution worked out in great detail. Available online at www.wiley.com/college/irwin.
- Student Study Guide with CD-ROM (0-471-03492-4) includes a variety of study tools, such as PSPICE, MATLAB, Microsoft Excel, and Electronics Workbench simulations. The accompanying CD-ROM includes circuit simulations and five easy-to-use video segments demonstrating PSPICE.
- Circuit Works. Access to this circuits simulator is included free with each new copy. Confused by resistors, capacitors, and op-amps? This tool will help you learn the principles and relationships that underlie first- and second-order circuits. Ace your course with Irwin and Circuit Works!
