This text is a classical presentation of linear circuit theory emphasizing circuit analysis and how to evaluate competing designs. The text integrates active and passive linear circuits allowing students to understand and design a wide range of circuits. The authors use both phasors and Laplace techniques to AC circuits enabling better understanding of frequency response, filters, AC power, and transformers. The text is designed for two semesters and is complemented with robust supplementary material to enhance various pedagogical approaches desired by the instructor. The text provides considerable examples and exercises throughout the narrative. The authors have increased the integration of MATLAB and Multisim in the text and revised content to be up-to-date with technology when appropriate (electric cars, Sonar, delivery drones, altimeters, 5G, etc.)

Dr. Albert J. Rosa has 44 years of experience in practicing engineering, education and teaching, with nine years spent at the US Air Force Academy in the Electrical Engineering Department finishing as Professor and Head, and an additional eight years as Distinguished Visiting Professor and Erdle Fellow, and 17 years as Chair of the Engineering Department at the University of Denver, USA. He served 25 years as an ABET program evaluator for IEEE and ASEE.

Dr. Gregory J. Toussaint has 33 years of experience as a practicing engineer, including seven years teaching electrical engineering at the US Air Force Academy in the Electrical Engineering Department and at the graduate level at the Air Force Institute of Technology, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering.
