Chapter 1 Introduction Copyright © 2013 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for 1 reproduction or display.  All engineers share a considerable amount of common ground, particularly when it comes to problem solving.  Circuit analysis has long been a traditional introduction to the art of problem solving from an engineering perspective.
