Text Book

The Analysis and Design of Linear Circuits, 5th Edition, R. E. Thomas and A. J. Rosa, Wiley 2006. ISBN 0-471-76095-1

Earlier editions are fine, such as

The Analysis and Design of Linear Circuits, 4th Edition, R. E. Thomas and A. J. Rosa, Wiley 2006. ISBN 0-471-45251-3

Homework will be assigned from the 5th Edition though. 5th Edition is on the Science and Engineering Library Reserves.
