Engineering Circuit Analysis Jack E. Kemmerly William H. Hayt

When we adopted Engineering Circuit Analysis in 1972, our department's primary motivation for a textbook change was the desire for a clearer, more detailed coverage of such fundamental topics as resistive networks, transients, and phasor solutions. We believe this text to be among the best available for a first course in network analysis. It is relatively free of preoccupation with collateral topics such as computer programs, signal flow graphs, state variables, and gyrators. Our students like using a text which is largely written to them rather than to the instructor. The critical comments which follow are intended to be constructive and, most particularly, to be helpful to the beginning user of this text.
