This text book provides a comprehensive and inn depth treatment of a first course in electronic circuit analysis and design. A smooth flow of topics from the known to the unknown is followed in the treatment. Large number of problems with answers, enhances the usefulness of the book to the reader. This book is eminently suitable as a course book for a first course in electronic circuits for engineering students.
