Except a basic school knowledge of
physics and calculus, no electrical or
mathematical background is required to
follow the contents of this book. All
fundamental theorems and methods
of analysis,
wherever they appear for the first time,
are covered in basics and explained in
detail. Therefore, students with
an extensive knowledge of Electricity
and Magnetism can start from chapter 2
or even chapter 3. Those of good
background in calculus and complex
algebra may skip
the first five
sections of chapter 5. The
tutorial problems and examples are
divided into three types: solved
examples given after theoretical
explanation, solved problems and
problems with hints or answers for
developing student’s ability in circuit
theory. Each chapter ends with a quiz, a
problem which checks the student’s
overall understanding of the chapter.
The intended target of the entire
material is to facilitate students’
comprehension of circuit theory.
Khalid Saeed
graduated and received his BSc degree in
Electrical Engineering – Electronics and
Communications in 1976 from Baghdad
University, College of Engineering. He
studied for his MSc and PhD in Poland in
Wroclaw University of Technology in the
Faculty of Electronics –
Telecommunications and Acoustics (MSc in
1978 and PhD-distinguished was defended
in 1981).
He worked with
Al-Fateh University in 1981-1986 in
Tripoli and Misurata and in the Higher
Institute of Electrical Engineering of
Zliten in 1987-1990.
From 1990 to
2002 was the Director
of Centre of General Education (C.G.E.)
in Lapy. 1992 – present he has
been working for Bialystok Technical
University with the Department of
Real-Time Systems in the Faculty of
Computer Science being the Head of
Computer Engineering Department
(1994-1999), Faculty Vice-Dean
(1997-2000) and the Head of Research
Team of Information Processing Systems
(2000-present). His main research
interests are Mathematical Models in
Electrical, Electronic and Computer
Engineering, particularly their
applications in Pattern Recognition
Systems.
Dr. Saeed is
the author of more than 60 publications,
among which seven are text and reference
books.
He is a member of IEEE and editorial
boards of a number of International
Journals and Conferences like IJES (UK),
