Electrical Circuits and Applications of Matrix Methods: Analysis of Linear Circuits (UMAP)

Author: Sister Mary K. Keller


A unit that exposes the students to several concepts: 1) to be able to construct a system of equations representing an electrical circuit using three laws of circuits; 2) use a computer program to test a system of equations for consistency and to find a unique solution for a system of equations if one exists; and 3) recognize that a system of equations may be over-determined and still have a unique solution.
