Praised for its highly accessible, real-world approach, the "Sixth Edition" demonstrates how the analysis and design of electric circuits are inseparably intertwined with the ability of the engineer to design complex electronic, communication, computer, and control systems as well as consumer products. The book offers numerous design problems and MATLAB examples, and focuses on the circuits that we encounter everyday. It provides new integration of interactive examples and problem solving, which helps readers understand circuit analysis concepts in an interactive way. It contains new problems in every chapter and new examples. A CD-ROM offers exercises, interactive illustrations, and a circuit design lab that allows users to experiment with different circuits.
