description: This innovative book uses the hand-held programmable graphing calculator as both a "calculating tool" and a "pedagogical tool" to teach readers how to do classical circuit analysis and how to make mathematical models of electrical networks that can be programmed on the TI-85 or 86. Introduces a generic method that is compatible with any mathematical computer program. Emphasizes using the computer (specifically the programmable, hand-held graphing calculator TI-85 or 86) as an analysis tool. Tasks include solving for all currents or voltages in any AC or DC circuit of up to 20 nodes or loops; exploring frequency response curves; and performing sensitivity studies on the effects of individual resistor, capacitor, or inductor elements. Includes exercises that require complete computer programs for a variety of common circuits such as bridge circuits, delta-wye circuits, balanced and unbalanced three-phase networks, transistor equivalent circuits, transformer circuits, ladder networks, passive and active filters, differential amplifiers, and instrumentation amplifiers. Other topics include instantaneous power, harmonic representation of square waves, bandwidth filters, and more. For those with an interest in DC/AC Circuits.
