The object of this book is to develop the basic principles of introductory circuit analysis and, at the same time, introduce the computer as an aid in solving linear, non-linear, and time- varying circuits. In level and content, this book provides a basic introduction to circuit theory and presents techniques important to a wide variety of more advanced engineering topics. The authors method of presenting the computer material is based on the belief that the student must learn the basic analytical results in circuit analysis as he is applying simple numerical methods of solving circuit problems.

Specifically, this book emphasizes basic principles in circuit theory and motivates students to develop computer programs to aid in the solution of circuit problems. It is designed to serve as medium between the classical and completely automated circuit analysis courses.

Also, if computer applications are to be neglected, sections or subsections on computer programs can be omitted without loss of continuity of the subject matter on circuit analysis.
