Review:
The best book of circuit theory
I read this book in 1992. It was the first time. It took me almost 6 months to really understand all topics. Good knowledge of mathematics is a prerequisite for reading this book. You must understand linear algebra, graph theory and differential/integral calculus. This book gives so deep insight in electric circuits, that you’ll be amazed. Knowledge presented in the book includes basic and advanced topics. Authors were so carefull to notice reader about which parts could be omitted. For everyone who really want to know what’s happening inside every circuit of TV set, computer, everything which use electricity to work…well not really every electric circuit. This book doesn’t cover circuits with distributed parameters, only lumped circuits, where Kirchhoff’s Laws are always valid. But, if you are mathematician who would like to translate not so usefull equations in real world electric circuits, this book is a must! One of authors, Leon O. Chua is inventor of many beautifull circuits and this book really opened my views. I’m sure that anyone who read this book will be able to understand principles of analog machines which computational power is in supercomputer range. Furthermore, reader who understand what authors wanted to say, could try himself in building circuits which will/won’t work. My circuits are purely tranlsated equations from the paper. This book told me “How to..” One more thing about this book, if you want to understand principles of cellular neural networks, chaos and many other “State of the art in electronics”, first read this book.
