Fundamentals of Circuit Analysis is an introductory course of circuit theory, which focus on the linear and time-independent lumped circuit. It is a basic course for discipline of electronic information majors such as communication engineering. 

   The purpose of this course is to provide students with fundamental principles, concepts and skills for circuit analysis, and to help students in improving their ability of flexible problem-solving and reasonable thinking. So strong foundation of engineering can be established for senior courses and circuit design.

   Textbook for this course is Fundamental of Circuit Analysis, which is constructed by the national 11th Five-Year Plan. The course covers the following materials: the basic concept of the circuit, the equivalent transformation, the general analysis methods of linear network, the circuit theorems, the first-order and second-order circuit analysis, sinusoidal steady-state circuit analysis, coupling inductance and transformers circuit analysis, frequency characteristics of the circuit, two-port network, and simple nonlinear resistance circuit.

Elementary differential and integral calculus is needed for the first-order and second-order circuit analysis.
