This popular introductory circuits text, known for its, "learn-by-doing format" has been further improved with the additions of new problem-solving techniques and other learning enhancements. The presentations of the fundamental principles is replete with examples, drill problems, extension exercises and design problems.

NEW-- Content additions:

Side columns provide text study assistance, problem-solving strategies and additional explorations.
Computer-aided design tools such as ORCAD with schematic capture, MATLAB, Microsoft Excel, and Electronic Workbench are presented in the book or the accompanying manual.
More design examples and real-world applications are included.

NEW-- Reorganization of material:

PSPICE material with schematic capture is in three separate sections, presented dc circuits, transient circuits, and ac circuits.

NEW-- Approximately 40% of the exercise problems in the text are new.

Strategically placed study assistance for text, examples, drill problems, extension exercises, and end-of-chapter exercises help students learn material in a timely and enjoyable fashion.

Real-world analysis and design examples link theory with practice.

Computer-aided design tools, and their use in examples, help students learn state-of-the-art computer technology and its purpose in engineering.

End-of-chapter problems range from basic to advanced. Basic problems, which graduate in difficulty are further subdivided and referenced to chapter subsections while the more advanced problems require the use of multiple techniques with no assistance.

Color and graphics are used to focus attention on important issues and to add to the reading enjoyment of the text.
