Introductory Circuit Analysis, Global Edition

Introductory Circuit Analysis has been the number one acclaimed text in the field for over 50 years. Boylestad presents complex subject matter clearly and with an eye on practical applications. He provides detailed guidance in using the TI 89 Titanium calculator, the choice for this text, to perform all the required math techniques. Challenging chapter-ending review questions help you deepen your grasp of the material.

Updated with the most current, relevant content, the 14th Edition places greater emphasis on fundamentals and has been redesigned with a more modern, accessible layout. Topics requiring a solid understanding of Power Factor, Lead and Lag concepts have been significantly enhanced throughout the text.

Key features

• Clear, detailed guidance in using the TI 89 Titanium calculator helps students perform the required math techniques without having to refer to the calculator manual. In some cases, short-cut methods are introduced.
• Computer sections demonstrate how the computer can be used as lab equipment.
• Problem sections at the end of each chapter reinforce understanding of major concepts.

New to this edition

• The new edition turns attention to fundamental theories over the mechanics of applying computer methods.
• Topics requiring a solid understanding of Power Factor, Lead and Lag concepts have been significantly enhanced throughout the text.
• Accompanying lab experiments and summary of equations have been carefully reviewed for accuracy. Changes were made where required.
• Problems in each section were carefully reviewed to ensure they progressed from simple to more complex.
• Many of the 2,000+ images are new or have been modified to reflect the latest industry practices.
• The overall design has been updated for a more modern, accessible layout.

About the Authors

Robert L. Boylestad signed the original contract for Introductory Circuit Analysis in 1965, resulting in a publishing date of 1968: a current life history of some 60 years. He wrote the first 13 editions, with an average timespan of 4.5 years between editions. With each edition, he felt upon completion that he'd done all he could to make it the best available. However, as the years pass there is always something such as content, coverage, examples or problems that can withstand some improvement.

Professor Brian A. Olivari is honored to have been asked by Professor Boylestad to collaborate on the 14th edition of Introductory Circuit Analysis. He could never have imagined being co-authors on the latest edition when he first used Professor Boylestad's Electronic Devices and Circuit Theory textbook as a student back in 1977, and then the 11th edition of Introductory Circuit Analysis as a professor in 2008.
