Abstract :
Methods used to teach fundamental network theory and computer-aided design of analog networks are discussed. It is shown that although the classical nodal and mesh formulations are needed for hand calculations, students should also get information about modified nodal analysis. It is also shown that DC solutions of linearized networks can easily be explained by using modified nodal formulation and the simplest numerical integration formula
