Providing a solid foundation in the basics of circuits, electronics (analog and digital), and electromechanics , this book shows students how the principles apply to interesting, specific, real problems in their own fields. The book attempts to anticipate students' trouble spots and provides answers for the most frequently asked questions. A self-contained treatment reviews prerequisite topics such as complex numbers and differential equations and intersperses short, boxed articles throughout showing how basic electrical engineering concepts are applied in other engineering fields.
