Description
Book SynopsisCircuit Theory and Field Theory are usually taught in separate courses. Electromagnetic field theory is an important part of basic physics. Because it is a very mathematical subject, the connection to everyday problems is not emphasized. Circuit theory on the other hand is by its very nature very practical.
Trade Review"...you needn't be an engineer to learn a great deal from this refreshingly different approach to basic electrotechnology." (
Electrical Apparatus, June 2002)
"...loaded with practical information?any electrical engineer...will find this book an invaluable reference...circuit theory teachers could also find this excellent..." (IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine, Vol. 18, No. 5, September/October 2002)
"Recommended for libraries...upper-division undergraduates; professionals" (Choice, Vol. 40, No. 3, November 2002)
"...it could very usefully find a place on the shelves of an electronics laboratory..." (Contemporary Physics, Vol.44, No.1, 2003)
