Spicey Circuits: Elements of Computer-Aided Circuit Analysis presents a fresh, new approach to exploring basic circuit theory. The book is primarily a textbook designed for undergraduate students in electrical engineering and SPICE users who need an introduction to elementary circuit analysis. The book stresses the process of deriving expressions and demonstrates that computer simulation can be useful in understanding the behavior of complex expressions. Computer simulation using SPICE is woven into the material with emphasis on using the program as a tool for understanding circuits rather than a mere number cruncher. Topics discussed include circuit elements, resistors, files, interfaces, sources, and circuit types.
