This book provides the advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate student in electrical engineering with a comprehensive treatment of the fundamental topics in network theory. The contents of the book are developed in such a manner that the only prerequisite for a course based on this text is an elementary knowledge of circuit analysis. Key features: — Includes full coverage of analysis and synthesis of linear, time-invariant networks, as well as active, nonlinear, and time-varying networks. — Exceptions and pitfalls are clearly pointed out, which are invaluable to new students trying to grasp and digest fundamentals — Carefully chosen, well-placed examples help students master the subject – quickly and completely — Optimized for fourth year undergraduate and first year graduate students
