Lab Manual for Introductory Circuit Analysis
暫譯: 初學者電路分析實驗手冊

《入門電路分析》在這個領域中已經被讚譽為第一本經典教材超過50年。Boylestad以清晰的方式呈現複雜的主題，並著眼於實際應用。他提供了使用TI 89 Titanium計算器的詳細指導，這是本書所選用的計算器，以執行所有所需的數學技術。具有挑戰性的章節結尾回顧問題幫助你加深對材料的理解。

更新至最新、最相關的內容，第14版更強調基本概念，並重新設計為更現代、易於接觸的版面。需要對功率因數、領先和滯後概念有扎實理解的主題在整本書中得到了顯著增強。

Robert L. Boylestad signed the original contract for Introductory Circuit Analysis in 1965, resulting in a publishing date of 1968: a current life history of some 60 years. He wrote the first 13 editions, with an average timespan of 4.5 years between editions. With each edition, he felt upon completion that he'd done all he could to make it the best available. However, as the years pass there is always something such as content, coverage, examples or problems that can withstand some improvement.

For the 14th edition, Professor Boylestad felt it wise to join hands with Professor Brian Olivari (Maine Maritime Academy) to be sure he was fully aware of recent trends in the scope and depth of coverage in various subject areas. He feels it has been a wonderful union in developing the content of this edition.

His history in the educational field includes some 45 years at various professorial ranks in the City University New York. There was also a period of some 10 years as assistant dean at the Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth.

During his teaching career, he was fortunate enough to find the time to write some 7 texts related to the electrical/electronics field. The two most successful are Introductory Circuit Analysis and Electronic Devices and Circuit Theory (co-authored with Professor Louis Nashelsky). The first is now in this 14th edition and the latter in its 11th edition. Both texts have been translated into foreign languages, with Introductory Circuit Analysis translated into 7 languages: Arabic, Chinese, French, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish and Taiwanese.

In addition to Introductory Circuit Analysis, there was the publication of manuals and texts related to computer languages: BASIC Applied to Circuit Analysis, Manual for the IBM PC jr and BASJC for Electronics and Computer Technologies.

Professor Boylestad looks forward to any response from users of this 14th edition to ensure the text remains current in the years to come.

Professor Brian A. Olivari is honored to have been asked by Professor Boylestad to collaborate on the 14th edition of Introductory Circuit Analysis. He could never have imagined being co-authors on the latest edition when he first used Professor Boylestad's Electronic Devices and Circuit Theory textbook as a student back in 1977, and then the 11th edition of Introductory Circuit Analysis as a professor in 2008.

As a faculty member at Maine Maritime Academy for over 15 years, Professor Olivari has focused his teaching on both electrical engineering and mathematics. In engineering, his primary interest has been in circuit analysis and power control electronics. In mathematics, he has been committed to preparing his math students to be successful at solving engineering problems.

Prior to teaching at Maine Maritime Academy, Professor Olivari gained much of his professional experience in the telecommunications industry. He worked at Western Electric, Rochester Telephone and, most notably, Bell Labs, where he was part of a team of engineers (systems, mechanical, electrical and software) that developed the first-of-its-kind stored-program controlled D5 Digital Channel Bank System. Additionally, he served as associate editor of the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Conference Digest of Technical Papers and taught briefly at Rochester Institute of Technology.

關於我們的作者

羅伯特·L·博伊萊斯塔德於1965年簽署了《入門電路分析》的原始合約，並於1968年出版，至今已有約60年的歷史。他撰寫了前13版，平均每版之間的時間間隔為4.5年。每一版完成後，他都感到自己已經盡力使其成為最佳版本。然而，隨著時間的推移，內容、範圍、範例或問題總有可以改進的地方。

在第14版中，博伊萊斯塔德教授認為與布萊恩·奧利瓦里教授（緬因海事學院）攜手合作是明智的，以確保他充分了解各個學科領域的最新趨勢和深度覆蓋。他認為這次合作在本版內容的開發上是一次美好的結合。

他在教育領域的歷史包括在紐約市立大學擔任各種教授職位約45年。此外，他還曾在達特茅斯的泰爾工程學院擔任助理院長約10年。

在他的教學生涯中，他有幸找到時間撰寫了約7本與電氣/電子領域相關的教材。其中兩本最成功的書是《入門電路分析》和《電子設備與電路理論》（與路易斯·納謝爾斯基教授共同撰寫）。前者目前已進入第14版，後者則是第11版。這兩本書均已翻譯成外語，其中《入門電路分析》翻譯成7種語言：阿拉伯語、中文、法語、韓語、葡萄牙語、西班牙語和台灣話。

除了《入門電路分析》，還出版了與計算機語言相關的手冊和教材：《應用於電路分析的BASIC》、《IBM PC jr手冊》和《電子與計算機技術的BASJC》。

博伊萊斯塔德教授期待來自第14版使用者的任何回應，以確保該文本在未來幾年內保持最新。

布萊恩·A·奧利瓦里教授很榮幸被博伊萊斯塔德教授邀請共同合作第14版《入門電路分析》。他從未想過在1977年作為學生第一次使用博伊萊斯塔德教授的《電子設備與電路理論》教科書時，會成為最新版本的共同作者，並在2008年作為教授使用第11版的《入門電路分析》。

作為緬因海事學院的教職員超過15年，奧利瓦里教授專注於電氣工程和數學的教學。在工程方面，他的主要興趣在於電路分析和電力控制電子學。在數學方面，他致力於幫助他的數學學生成功解決工程問題。

在緬因海事學院任教之前，奧利瓦里教授在電信行業獲得了豐富的專業經驗。他曾在西部電氣公司、羅徹斯特電話公司工作，最著名的是在貝爾實驗室工作，成為開發首個存儲程序控制的D5數字通道銀行系統的工程師團隊（系統、機械、電氣和軟件）的一員。此外，他還擔任過IEEE固態電路會議技術論文摘要的副編輯，並在羅徹斯特理工學院短暫任教。
