Description

This text is primarily designed for introductory electrical engineering courses for non-majors. It may also be appropriate for majors in this time of rapid curriculum change. Finally, this may also be useful for advanced programs in electrical engineering technology or introductory electrical engineering courses found in physics departments. With sound, practically-oriented coverage of all the basic concepts in electrical engineering, this new text by proven authors represents the best balanced general introduction to the field available for non-majors. This new text superbly integrates conceptual discussions with current, relevant technological applications. Presenting modularized coverage of a wide range of topics to afford instructors great flexibility, Introduction to Electrical Engineering is an exceptionally strong teaching tool - gently yet thoroughly introducing students to the full spectrum of fundamental topics; offering strong pedagogical support and clear explanations, and never relying on superficial, cursory explanations.
