Description
Book SynopsisAbout our authors
Robert L. Boylestad signed the original contract for Introductory Circuit Analysis in 1965, resulting in a publishing date of 1968: a current life history of some 60 years. He wrote the first 13 editions, with an average timespan of 4.5 years between editions. With each edition, he felt upon completion that he'd done all he could to make it the best available. However, as the years pass there is always something such as content, coverage, examples or problems that can withstand some improvement.
For the 14th edition, Professor Boylestad felt it wise to join hands with Professor Brian Olivari (Maine Maritime Academy) to be sure he was fully aware of recent trends in the scope and depth of coverage in various subject areas. He feels it has been a wonderful union in developing the content of this edition.
His history in the educational field includes some 45 years at various professorial ranks in the City University
