Summary

For 25 years, students and instructors have trusted Nilsson and Riedel more than any other text to provide the clearest and most effective introduction to electric circuits while enabling readers to make connections between the core concepts and the world around us. The eighth edition is a carefully planned revision of this modern classic. With a core focus on problem solving, 80% of the homework problems are completely new or revised. Extensive reviews and development produced a cleaner, clearer text design to facilitate reading and navigation. In addition, while increasing the emphasis on real-world applications of circuits, this new edition continues its commitment to being the most accurate text on the market. Book jacket.
