Notes:
Chapter sections marked in orange are from the text by J. Vlach and K. Singhal, Computer Methods for Circuit Analysis and Design.
Chapter sections marked in green are from
L.T. Pilage, R.A. Rohrer, and C. Visweswariah,
Electronic Circuit and System Simulation
Methods, Mc Graw-Hill,
1995.
In most of their parts (although not everywhere) these two books provide an equivalent reading material.
Homeworks are due by the date indicated.
