Basic Engineering Circuit Analysis

This text is an unbound, binder-ready edition. Circuit analysis is the fundamental gateway course for computer and electrical engineering majors. Basic Engineering Circuit Analysis has long been regarded as the most dependable textbook. In this new 11th edition, Irwin and Nelms continue to develop the most complete set of pedagogical tools available and  thus provide the highest level of support for students entering  into this complex subject. Irwin and Nelms trademark student-centered learning design focuses on helping students complete the connection between theory and practice. Key concepts are explained clearly and illustrated by detailed, worked examples. These are then followed by Learning Assessments, which allow students to work similar problems and check their results against the answers provided. The WileyPLUS course contains tutorial videos that show solutions to the Learning Assessments in detail, and also includes a robust set of algorithmic problems at a wide range of difficulty levels. WileyPLUS sold separately from text.
