Alexander & Sadiku's Fundamentals of Electric Circuits, 3rd ed., 2007
Sections _not_ listed are optional. They are recommended if you wish a broader understanding the the material. Option section include practical circuit examples. PSpice Sections. PSpice is a computer circuit analysis tool that will be used in the lab component of the course. The sections about PSpice in the text (in the chapters and in the appendix) may be referenced when working with the program.
