Intended as a textbook for electronic circuit analysis or a reference for practicing engineers, the book uses a self-study format with hundreds of worked examples to master difficult mathematic topics and circuit design issues. Computer programs using PSpice and MATLAB on the accompanying CD-ROM provide calculations and executables for visualizing and solving applications from industry. It covers the complex mathematical topics and concepts needed to understand and solve serious circuits problems.

3.1 INTRODUCTION
A combination of active and passive elements are known as an electrical
network. Any electrical network can be converted into a graph and this is
known as topology. In topology only the geometrical pattern of a network is
considered and no distinction is made between the different types of physical
elements. The basic elements, according to topology, are branches, nodes,
and loops.
All the elements (voltage source, resistor, inductor, capacitor) in a
network are replaced by line segments and the junction points by nodes.
