All undergraduates in electrical and electronic engineering must understand the principles of circuit analysis. This new text provides an accessible introduction to the subject, unlike other older texts which are considerably more bulky and cover the subject in less depth. Written by an experienced teacher of this material, it is an ideal undergraduate text, providing careful and unstinted explanations and many illustrations. Another student-friendly feature is the fact the mathematical prerequisites are kept to a minimum.

This textbook provides an introduction to circuits, systems, and motors for students in electrical engineering as well as other majors that need an introduction to circuits. Unlike most other textbooks that highlight only circuit theory, this book goes into detail on many practical aspects of working with circuits, including electrical safety and the proper method to measure the relevant circuit parameters using modern measurement systems. Coverage also includes a detailed discussion of motors and generators, including brushless DC motors, as these are critical topics in the robotic and mechatronics industries. Lastly, the book discusses A/D and D/A converters given their importance in modern measurement and control systems. In addition to covering the basic circuit concepts, the author also provides the students with the necessary mathematics to analyze correctly the circuit concepts being presented. The chapter on phasor domain circuit analysis begins with a detailed review of complex numbers as many students are weak in this area. Likewise, before discussing filters and Bode Diagrams, the Fourier Transform and later the Laplace Transform are explained.

Relevant applications to electronics, telecommunications and power systems are included in a comprehensive introduction to the theory of electronic circuits for physical science students.

Athanasios Papoulis' classic text was the first to present digital techniques as an integral part of a unified course in system theory and design, rather than as a separate unit. The enduring success of Circuits and Systems undoubtedly is due in large part to the author's concentration on fundamental ideas explained in the context of simple illustrations. The text develops analog systems parallel to digital systems, emphasizes the concepts of linearity, superposition, impulse response, frequency response, and system function. Laplace transforms and z-transforms are treated briefly, but completely, and the introduction to digital and sampled-analog simulation is based on the approximation of the convolution integral by a sum. The development of the material as a deductive discipline strengthens the student's analytical ability in the engineering course.

These twenty lectures have been developed and refined by Professor Siebert during the more than two decades he has been teaching introductory Signals and Systems courses at MIT. The lectures are designed to pursue a variety of goals in parallel: to familiarize students with the properties of a fundamental set of analytical tools; to show how these tools can be applied to help understand many important concepts and devices in modern communication and control engineering practice; to explore some of the mathematical issues behind the powers and limitations of these tools; and to begin the development of the vocabulary and grammar, common images and metaphors, of a general language of signal and system theory. Although broadly organized as a series of lectures, many more topics and examples (as well as a large set of unusual problems and laboratory exercises) are included in the book than would be presented orally. Extensive use is made throughout of knowledge acquired in early courses in elementary electrical and electronic circuits and differential equations.
