[request_ebook] electric circuit fundamentals

approach imparts not only an appreciation for the elegance of the mathematics of circuit theory, but also a

curriculum, but also in coping with the rapidly changing technology they will face on the job.

A proven author, Prof. Franco writes in a clear and captivating style, covering all the traditional topics in

a way designed to hold students’ interest. The text aims to provide an engineering balance between

mathematical conceptualization and physical insight, and therefore the presentation is only as

mathematically rigorous as needed.

Franco introduces ideal transformers and amplifiers early on to stimulate student interest by giving a

taste of actual engineering practice. Whenever possible, he relates theory back to practical, real-life

situations. This is followed by extensive coverage of the ideal operational amplifier to provide a

practical illustration of abstract but fundamental concepts such as resistance transformation and rootlocus

control—always with a vigilant eye on the underlying physical basis. PSpice is exploited

throughout the text as a means for checking the results of hand calculations, and in separate end-ofchapter

sections, which introduce the most important SPICE features in gradual fashion, at the specific

points in which they are first needed.
