A practical engineering book

If you are looking for a practical handbook or trying to reveal the veil and get a taste of what's CAD of circuit is like, this book is a very good starting point, as the other reviewers mentioned. However, in order to explain some of the mathematical concepts (e.g. Newton Raphson method), the authors choose a very engineering approach, readers with solid mathematical or numerical analysis background will get impatient and sometimes get lost. However, even for math geeks, so long as you really calm down and concentrate on the material, you will find another refreshing perspective and get some engineering insight. However, in my opinion, I would prefer "Computer Methods for Circuit Analysis and Design" if you choose to study CAD in a scientific way instead of an engineering way. You will greatly appreciate the beauty and preciseness of demonstrating concepts in Jiri Vlach, Kishore Singhal book while enough clear and representative examples are added to make the advance of theory going smoothly. If you are not a poor student as me, get both ;) There are really few choices of textbook in this area and we are fortunate to see both of them are excellent.

Simply, the best I have read...

It is a must to have for anyone looking for being a simulation software developer...It puts you in the action from the fist chapter, from the begining, the concepts related to the basic analitical tools that you'll need to understand how a simulation software is capable of caracterize an electric circuit are presented ...It asumes you to know electric circuit analisis, so it don't enphatize the teoretical stuff, instead of this, it tell you how to use it to develop a simulation program. The Numerical stuff necessary for the software is treated as well in the book...You'll be able to write a basic simulation program using just the concepts presented in the first chapter!!!...
