Circuit Analysis II with MATLAB - Steven T. Karris


Designed for use in a second course in circuit analysis, this text engages a full spectrum of circuit analysis related subjects ranging from the most abstract to the most practical. The reader of this book should have the traditional undergraduate knowledge of an introductory circuit analysis material. Another prerequisite would be a basic knowledge of differential equations. This is not a math text. However, the differential equations and Laplace transformation material presented in this text is adequate for the derivation of pertinent relations and there is no need to refer to advanced math texts. Featured are methods of expressing signals in terms of the elementary functions, an introduction to second order circuits, and several examples of analyzing electric circuits using Laplace transformation methods. Though not written explicitly to be used with MATLAB, this text provides many useful tips and strategies for MATLAB, allowing students to get the most out of the popular program.
I have personally found this book very helpful and well-written. Since, MATLAB is used by most of the electrical engineering students, so this book is a bonus for you as it shows the use of various MATLAB applications.
