Beyond replacing current transistor logic, I find it theoretically pleasing that memristors fill the gap to complete the linking of current, voltage, charge, and flux with the existing 3 fundamental passive devices. What would basic circuit analysis lessons look like 10 years after they become commonplace?

Exactly the same as they do now. Memristors aren't linear time-invariant, so it's extremely unlikely that they would show up in a basic circuit analysis lesson.


Not even inductors or caps are in a basic circuit analysis course. But this quadriga of passive components was at least mentioned in the very beginning of the first ee semester, components class which focused the physical effects (and was notoriously hard).
