Publisher's Synopsis
This text is a broad introduction to electrical engineering for students and practicing engineers in other disciplines. Their special needs are met by the following features of the text: thorough quantitative introductions to the sub-areas of electrical engineering - instrumentation, control, communications, computers, power; a structure that allows topics to be taken up in any order; the presentation of a new concept first by a specific example (such as a motor speed regulator) and then proceeding to the generalization (such as control systems); frequent use of analogies to build on the reader's rich background in other areas; three levels of practice problems - drill, application, and extension.
