This book provides readers with the necessary background
information and advanced concepts in the field of circuits, at
the crossroads between physics, mathematics and system theory. It
covers various engineering subfields, such as electrical devices
and circuits, and their electronic counterparts. Based on the
idea that a modern university course should provide students with
conceptual tools to understand the behavior of both linear and
nonlinear circuits, to approach current problems posed by new,
cutting-edge devices and to address future developments and
challenges, the book places equal emphasis on linear and
nonlinear, two‐terminal and multi‐terminal, as well as active and
passive circuit components. The theory is developed
systematically, starting with the simplest circuits (linear,
time-invariant and resistive) and providing food for thought on
nonlinear circuits, potential functions, linear algebra and
geometrical interpretations of selected results. Contents are
organized into a set of first‐level and a set of advanced‐level
topics. The book is rich in examples and includes numerous solved
problems. Further topics, such as signal processing and modeling
of non-electric physical phenomena (e.g., hysteresis or
biological oscillators) will be discussed in volume 2.
