Abstract: Analysis of an electrical circuit is performed using a computer program product (60) and a method. In accordance with the program and the method, a electrical circuit analyzer generates an admittance matrix for an electrical circuit which is being analyzed. The admittance matrix includes symbolic expressions rather than numerical expressions for at least some components of the electrical circuit. The electrical circuit analyzer linearly and algebraically solves an equation system including the admittance matrix for analyzing at least a part of the electrical circuit. The electrical circuit analyzer uses symbolic computation to solve the equation system including the admittance matrix for analyzing at least a part of the electrical circuit. The equation system including the admittance matrix can be solved in various types of analyses, including (1) determining a transfer function between specified nodes of the electrical circuit; and (2) optimizing a component of the electrical circuit.
