Talk:Electronics/Nodal Analysis

This is something that someone with a good math background could figure out from what has been previously written in this text, but very few people just starting with electronics will be able to pick up (setting up and solving this system of equations.) -maxpower


 * Somewhat on the same lines as the previous comment, I think that the sterile procedural definition of node analysis is far from adequate from a teaching perspective. Most persons can figure out basically how to setup the system of equations, but the main confusion usually revolves around getting signs straight.  The text should address this point in some detail and explain something about setting up and utilizing a consistant system for indicating current direction.  Additionally, it would be good if it covered when/why one should add or subtract a current due to the position of the node within the set conventions and the adjacent element's active/passive function.

A nodal analysis tutorial I wrote that I want to contribute
I wrote an open-source nodal-analysis on my own wiki. Should be very easy to just copy and paste parts of it out. Please feel free to use any portions of it that are relevant for expanding this article: http://wiki.syncleus.com/index.php/Nodal_Analysis 108.16.236.53 (discuss) 06:13, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
