Linear and nonlinear circuits: basic \& advanced concepts. Volume 1 (Q2052763)

This is volume l of a basic book on linear and nonlinear circuits for undergraduate electrical engineering students. It is structured in such a way with parts and chapters in so-called multiple reading levels. There are four parts, and each part is divided into two chapters: one chapter in basic level and the other in advanced level. The basic chapters are aimed at newcomers to circuit theory, whereas the advanced chapters are for more advanced students. A feature of the book is its use of examples to show how the proposed techniques can solve real problems. Part I is on variables and topology with basic concepts on power \& energy, Kirchhoff's laws and multi-terminal elements, and with advance concepts on graph theory, cut-set and loop and Tellegen's theorem. Part II is on multi-terminals with basic concepts on elements, basic theorems and connections, and with advanced concepts on potential functions and heat theorem. Part III is on multi-ports with basic concepts on 2-ports, and with advanced concepts on passivity, reciprocity, amplification and colored edge theorem. Finally, Part IV on memoryless circuits with basic concepts on nodal and mesh analyses, and superposition and substitution principles, and with advanced concepts on mesh and loop currents, Tableau method, superposition theorem and equivalent representations of multi-ports. At the end of each chapter, there are a number of problems, the solutions of which are given at the end of the book. For the review of Vol. 2 see Zbl 1492.94002.
