This book offers a concise introduction to the analysis of electrical transients aimed at students who have completed introductory circuits and freshman calculus courses.
What’s the point of calculating definite integrals since you can’t possibly do them all?What makes doing the specific integrals in this book of value aren’t the specific answers we’ll obtain, but rather the methods we’ll use in obtaining those answers;
What does quilting have to do with electric circuit theory? This book presents an exploration of some of the many ways that math and physics combine to create something vastly more powerful, useful, and interesting than either is by itself.
