Ulaby, Maharbiz and Furse's
  Circuit and Analysis and Design
(2018)

Sections in each chapter that are NOT listed are optional. They are recommended if you wish a broader understanding the the material. Optional sections include practical circuit examples, typically at the end of each chapter.

PSpice sections. PSpice is a computer circuit analysis tool that may be used in the lab component of the course. The sections about PSpice in the textbook (in the chapters and in the book's Appendix) may be referenced when working with the program.
