Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering

This second edition of the highly sucessful Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering is thoroughly expanded and updated. The text is divided into four parts: circuits, electronics, digital systems, and electromagnetics. Although it delves in depth into each of these topics, the text represents more than your basic survey of the basics of engineering, providing a solid understanding of the fundamental principles on which modern electrical engineering is based. This edition includes a chapter on circuit analysis software SPICE, with an in detail discussion of the PC version known as Spice (from MicroSim Corp.). Numerous drill exercises have been added to this new edition, reinforcing ideas presented in the examples. The text contains 1182 end-of-chapter problems -- 346 more than the first edition. The text is suitable for an introduction to electrical engineering for both majors and non-majors or both, or can be split and the various chapters utilized for an introduction to circuits course, a first electronics course, or for a course on digital electronics and logic design.
