Important Goals of the Course:
•
•
To learn basic circuit laws regarding currents and voltages.
To learn practical techniques of linear circuit analysis using matrix algebra and
complex numbers (Math 102). Circuit analysis is the calculation of the electrical
response (current or voltage) at any point in an electrical network of linear
elements (resistors, capacitors, inductors) driven by DC (constant) or AC
(sinusoidal in time) voltage and current sources.
