This paper has shown that Millman's theorem is very useful in the analysis of passive or active networks, especially for circuits with operational amplifiers. To explain how to apply Millman's theorem to various network problems, the circuit with one transistor and four kinds of circuit with ideal operational amplifiers are illustrated.
