  • Abstract
    The use of symbolic computation is proposed here as an effective tool for studying electric circuits. Using well established methods to write electric circuit equations, a student can generate a set of equations involving only state variables. With the help of symbolic computation, these equations can be rewritten in a normal form. They then can be solved for any input-output pair. Furthermore, the influence of a certain parameter can be analyzed in detail via analytic expressions
