Linear Circuit Analysis; Time Domain, Phasor, and Laplace Transform Approaches

Designed for an introductory electric circuits course, the second edition of Linear Circuit Analysis provides authoritative and in-depth yet highly accessible coverage of traditional linear circuit analysis topics--both concepts and computation.

This second edition represents an exhaustive revision, featuring:
BL Complete integration and extensive use of MATLAB® in solving problems and examples
BL Frequent use of SPICE, especially with op amp circuits
BL Twenty percent more examples and numerous additional illustrations
BL Approximately three times as many exercises immediately following the examples
BL More than 1000 end-of-chapter problems (approximately 25% more than the first edition, categorized and graded from the simpler to the more complex; this edition includes many new basic problems)
BL Excellent pedagogical elements including case studies, motivational real-world illustrations, and key terms and concepts

A CD in each book! The CD contains:
BL Complete Solutions for Students to 10% of the Homework Exercises. These solutions have been solved step-by-step by the authors and are installed on the disk in an Adobe Acrobat® file.
BL Additional MATLAB® Problems. Designed to challenge students and extend their understanding of software tools, these complex MATLAB problems are contained on the CD in an Adobe Acrobat file. Solutions are available at www.decarlolin.org under "MATLAB Solutions."
BL Laboratory Manual. A 214-page laboratory manual is resident on the in-text CD in Adobe Acrobat. It includes course objectives, course requirements, laboratory safety instructions, fifteen experiments, and nine useful appendices.
BL A FREE Copy of the Multisim® 2001 Textbook Edition (SPICE Simulator). This powerful simulation software contains a fully functional version of Multisim® 2001 and includes a 1500 component database, 6 virtual instruments, 6 analyses, the Simplified Version Interface, and Save and Print capabilities. It creates and saves new circuits and will read and simulate any circuit created in the Multisim® 2001 Education or Student Editions.
