CONCLUDING REMARKS

Looking back at the examples and exercises, we observe that finding the initial conditions for the response in terms of the initial conditions in the energy-storage elements can be a laborious process, especially if the circuit contains many such elements. We are interested in ways of expediting this process. In Chapter 16 we shall investigate a powerful analytical method known as the Laplace transform method, which takes the initial element conditions into account automatically.
