analysis. Signal-flow graphs (Chap. 9) are introduced first: and then followed by two chapters on state variables, the formulation and the solution of state equations. The book ends with two advanced topics : stability and timevarying networks. The presentation and the arrangement of the materials is outstanding. This book entails easy reading at a level without presumption of much background in mathematics : and yet presents essential ideas in a short and direct way. The author seems to know very well where a presentation should be stopped, as well as where it should be emphasized. Numerous carefully chosen examples and exercises are included, which is especially helpful for those who like self-study. There is certain material which does not appear in similar books. For example, a novel method of partial-fraction expansion is given in Appendix B and several useful computer programs are included in Appendix D. The book is written for a second-year course in circuit theory. It assumes an elementary background in matrix algebra and Laplace transforms. For those who do not have this background, a good review is given in Appendices A and B.
Because this book introduces system analysis as well as circuit analysis, it is especially suitable for those curricula in which system courses are required in the later years. The book is also useful for those who like to gain, in their spare time, knowledge about modern circuit analysis, system analysis and the relationships among them.
