A unique feature of the book is that the first two chapters provide a mini-course in basic resistive circuit analysis for the purpose of strengthening the reader's background. It is an in-depth study of the basic circuit theorems and network analysis methods, with the treatment limited to those concepts essential for advanced study. A reader without a formal electrical background could conceivably acquire a sufficient background from these chapters to deal with the remainder of the book.
