Description
For courses in Introductory Circuit Analysis or Circuit Theory.
The fundamental goals of the best-selling Electric Circuits remain unchanged. The 11th Edition continues to motivate students to build new ideas based on concepts previously presented, to develop problem-solving skills that rely on a solid conceptual foundation, and to introduce realistic engineering experiences that challenge students to develop the insights of a practicing engineer. The 11th Edition represents the most extensive revision since the 5th Edition with every sentence, paragraph, subsection, and chapter examined and oftentimes rewritten to improve clarity, readability, and pedagogy-without sacrificing the breadth and depth of coverage that Electric Circuits is known for. Dr. Susan Riedel draws on her classroom experience to introduce the Analysis Methods feature, which gives students a step-by-step problem-solving approach.

In Memoriam of James W. Nilsson
We remember our beloved author, James W. Nilsson, for his lasting legacy to the electrical and computer engineering field. The first edition of Electric Circuits was published in 1983. As this book evolved over the years to better meet the needs of both students and their instructors, the underlying teaching methodologies Jim established remain relevant, even in the 12th Edition. Jim earned his bachelor's degree at the University of Iowa (1948), and his master's degree (1952) and Ph.D. (1958) at Iowa State University. He joined the ISU faculty in 1948 and taught electrical engineering there for 39 years. He became an IEEE fellow in 1990 and earned the prestigious IEEE Undergraduate Teaching Award in 1992.
Professor Susan A. Riedel, emerita, has been a member of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Marquette University since 1981. She retired in 2012 but continued to teach classes, advise undergraduates and work with graduate students on their research for several years after that. She also held a clinical research appointment in the Department of Orthopaedics at the Medical College of Wisconsin and was a visiting professor in the Bioengineering Unit at the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, Scotland, as a Fulbright Scholar. She has received many awards for her teaching at Marquette, including the university-wide John P. Raynor SJ Faculty Award for teaching excellence. She has contributed to Electric Circuits since the Third Edition and became solely responsible for the text, supplements, and other supporting materials starting with the Sixth Edition.
