Features: The English original edition of this book has maintained a fine tradition since the first edition: helping students build an intuitive understanding of circuit analysis. This edition continues this tradition while incorporating a core concept throughout: solving problems is fun. Based on the teaching syllabus and practical needs of circuit courses in China, and in line with the requirements of bilingual teaching, this adapted edition rearranges the original content, removes some redundant material, and strives to retain the original edition's emphasis on intuition, hands-on learning, and creativity. The book is also equipped with multimedia teaching materials and other supplementary resources, aiming to become a novel, practical, and reasonably priced textbook.
Key Features of the Book:
- Reduces redundant content, aligns with China's teaching syllabus, and alleviates students' study pressure.
- Preserves the original textbook's content in its pure form, with selective adaptations and no inclusion of Chinese-style English expressions.
- Fluent language, logical structure, and easy-to-understand content.
- Equipped with teaching materials and other supplementary resources for convenience in teaching.
This book is adapted from the classic work Engineering Circuit Analysis (Sixth Edition). The authors have made significant modifications based on years of teaching experience and the current teaching syllabus, with the goal of making it more suitable as an English textbook for undergraduate students in electrical and computer engineering programs.
Starting from basic circuit elements and fundamental concepts like voltage and current laws, the book introduces common analysis methods such as node and mesh analysis, superposition theorem, and source transformation. For AC circuits, it begins with sinusoidal steady-state analysis of RLC circuits, followed by explanations of AC power and magnetically coupled circuits. To adapt to modern technological trends, the authors have enriched the content with advanced topics such as Fourier analysis and two-port networks.
The authors strive to combine theory with practice, providing abundant examples and data. The book includes numerous examples, exercises, and problems, with answers to selected problems at the end of each chapter.
This book can be used as a bilingual teaching textbook or a reference book for professional English teaching in universities for undergraduate students in electrical engineering, computer engineering, and related fields. It is also suitable for self-study or reference by relevant personnel.
