Foundations of Electrical Engineering is designed to serve as a textbook for first year engineering students. It provides a solid understanding of the fundamental principles on which modern electrical engineering is based. Organized into four parts, the book offers more than just a basic survey of the three major topics: circuit theory, electronics, and electromagnetics.

Key Features

• Includes classical concepts of circuit analysis as well as digital and analog electronics

• Covers major topics in greater depth than most introductory books

• Provides maximum course flexibility with a modular organization of chapters

• Contains a chapter on the circuit simulation software SPICE with a detailed discussion on PSpice

• Drill exercises in every section to reinforce ideas presented in the text

• Over 300 solved problems and nearly 1000 chapter-end problems to help assist in practice and revision
