This paper describes the use of a time-shared APL interactive facility in the teaching of electronic circuit analysis and design
A set of APL functions are described which allow students to use a step-by-step procedure to solve network problems. These functions calculate the admittance matrix, determinants, cofactors, transfer impedances and gains. An a.c. response program which uses the above functions to calculate the overall frequency response is also presented.
