"A circuit analysis, a discipline of electrical engineering, finds the voltage across and current through all the circuit components provided that a circuit operates in a steady-state regime and the input signals are either dc or sinusoidal. An advanced circuit analysis does the same work but includes into consideration the transient process and any input signal, which complicates obtaining the answers drastically. A system's approach, while performing the advanced circuit analysis, focuses on finding the input-output relationship in a circuit. Therefore, this book searches the complete (transient plus steady-state) output in response to the circuit's excitation by an arbitrary input . There are two strategic objectives of this textbook: first, to focus on the fundamentals of advanced circuit analysis with the balance between a systems theoretical approach and the practical concerns in the current technological issues; second, to create a textbook that is not merely a source of information but is an instrument that will teach the readers why real-life engineering problems appear and what are the strategies and techniques for finding their solutions. Let's discuss the issues outlined above. Modern electrical engineering technology changes rapidly, whereas its theoretical foundation evolves slower. Thus, finding the right balance between theory and practice is the primary objective of academic courses. Our book offers such a balance by concentrating on the subject's fundamentals and relating these fundamentals to professional responsibilities through text discussions and-mainly-examples. Such an approach is hardly innovative since many textbooks do this. What makes our book unique is that the examples are not merely the exercises in plugging given numbers into equations but the problems those students will meet in their professional careers. Many examples are woven into the text fabric; those offered in a formal problem-solution format are accompanied by thorough discussions pinpointing the solution's advantages, drawbacks, limitations, and implications. Thus, our examples serve as essential teaching tools"-- Provided by publisher.
