Circuits, Matrices and Linear Vector Spaces - (Dover Books on Electrical Engineering) by Lawrence P Huelsman (Paperback)

About the Book This high-level text explains the mathematics behind basic circuit theory. It covers matrix algebra, the basic theory of n -dimensional spaces, and applications to linear systems. Numerous problems. 1963 edition. Book Synopsis This high-level undergraduate text explains the mathematics behind basic circuit theory. Its self-contained treatment covers matrix algebra, which provides a general means of formulating the details of a linear system. In addition, the author presents the basic theory of n -dimensional spaces and demonstrates its application to linear systems. A development of the mathematics of matrix algebra and determinants is followed by the application of matrix techniques to a general discussion of circuits. Subsequent topics include the properties of active and passive two-port devices, the basic theory of linear vector spaces, and the natural frequencies of a network. Appendixes cover the indefinite-transfer matrix, gyrators with complex gyration admittance, and network transformations. A wealth of equations and calculation problems appear throughout the text. About the Author Lawrence P. Huelsman (1927-2004) was a Professor of Electrical Engineering at the University of Arizona from 1960 to 1989. An Associate Editor of several technical journals, including the IEEE Transactions on Education, he wrote or contributed to scores of technical books and papers.
