The calculus of deviations applied to transistor circuit and network analysis
T.R. Nisbet, William W. Happ · Journal of the British Institution of Radio Engineers · 1961
The Calculus of Deviations is introduced, and its nature and basis are briefly discussed. A deviation is described as “a measure of the lack of complete functional interdependence between two quantities” Rules are given for using the calculus in solving various transistor and network problems, including the analysis of distributed-parameter networks. The complexity of network analysis is verygreatly reduced by the use of this powerful, easy-to-use, mathematical tool
