Publisher's Synopsis
This text introduces computational techniques for analyzing linear and nonlinear circuits, and for determining transient response. Focusing on algorithms in commonly found circuits, the text addresses electrical engineering numerical analysis problems tailored to the needs of practitioners in the field. A sound understanding of the scope and limitations of such packages as SPICE and ASCL is provided. The book adopts a student-oriented approach in the use of circuit analysis programs, starting with simple examples and problems and progressing to more difficult topics and concepts. The chapters contain problem sets and projects for more advanced computing capabilities. Several complete FORTRAN 77 programs are available, including short programs demonstrating basic concepts covered in the text, a 5-version circuit analysis program, an optimization package, and an interactive control system analysis and design package.
