SymPy/CAD

The book Circuit Analysis and Design, by Fawwaz T. Ulaby, Michael M. Maharbiz, and Cynthia M. Furse, is available as a free download at the link above as part of the University of Michigan's Free ECE Textbook Initiative. This page will organize Google Colab notebooks that will use SymPy to symbolically solve example and exercise problems from that book. Michael Gustafson is grateful to Professor Ulaby for his encouragement in this project, and to Professors Ulaby, Maharbiz, and Furse for making their book available to all!
