| Real Analog: Circuits 1, the Analog Discovery 2, and Analog Parts Kit form the core of a world-class engineering educational program that can be used by themselves or in support of existing curricular materials. Students with their own design kits learn more, learn faster, retain information longer, and have a more enjoyable experience - now every student can take charge of their education for less than the cost of a traditional engineering textbook! | Real Analog: Circuits 1, the Analog Discovery 2, and Analog Parts Kit form the core of a world-class engineering educational program that can be used by themselves or in support of existing curricular materials.

| In this chapter, we introduce all fundamental concepts associated with circuit analysis. Electrical circuits are constructed in order to direct the flow of electrons to perform a specific task. In other words, in circuit analysis and design, we are concerned with transferring electrical energy in order to accomplish a desired objective. | In this chapter, we introduce all fundamental concepts associated with circuit analysis.

| In this chapter, we introduce analysis methods based on circuit reduction. Circuit reduction consists of combining resistances in a circuit to a smaller number of resistors, which are (in some sense) equivalent to the original resistive network. Reducing the number of resistors, of course, reduces the number of unknowns in a circuit. | In this chapter, we introduce analysis methods based on circuit reduction.

| In cases where circuit reduction is not feasible, approaches are still available to reduce the total number of unknowns in the system. Nodal analysis and mesh analysis are two of these. | In cases where circuit reduction is not feasible, approaches are still available to reduce the total number of unknowns in the system.

| In this chapter, we introduce the concept of a systems level approach to circuit analysis. In this type of approach, we represent the circuit as a system with some inputs and outputs. We then characterize the system by the mathematical relationship between the system inputs and the system outputs. This relationship is called the input-output relation for the system. | In this chapter, we introduce the concept of a systems level approach to circuit analysis.

| In this chapter, we will provide a very brief introduction to the topic of state variable modeling. The brief presentation provided here is intended simply to introduce the reader to the basic concepts of state variable models, since they are a natural - and relatively painless - extension of the analysis approach we have used in Chapters 7 and 8. | In this chapter, we will provide a very brief introduction to the topic of state variable modeling.

| In this chapter we discuss representation of signals in terms of their frequency content. We will also represent the frequency content of the input and output signals and the frequency response of the system in graphical format. This leads us to think in terms of using a system to create a signal with a desired frequency content - this process is called filtering. | In this chapter we discuss representation of signals in terms of their frequency content.
