Preface
The field of electrical and electronic engineering is vast and diverse. However, two topics hold the key
to the entire field. They are ‘Circuit Theory’ and ‘Signals and Systems’. Both these topics provide a
solid foundation for later learning, as well as for future professional activities.
This undergraduate textbook, the first of a two-book series, deals with one of these two pivotal
subjects in detail. In addition, it connects ‘Circuit Theory’ and ‘Signals and Systems’, thereby preparing
the student-reader for a detailed study of this important subject either concurrently or subsequently.
The theory of electric circuits and networks, a subject derived from the more basic subject of
electromagnetic fields, is the cornerstone ...
