Here is the link to the textbook we will be using:
This comes as a bundle ($250) with:
- Circuits Links to an external site. Textbook: by Ulaby, Maharbiz and Furse. F.T. Ulaby is one of my favorite authors, because he explains things so well. Last year, I joined the team and helped write the third edition of this book. That let me add a lot of the things I found helped make the material easier to understand. I think the book is very readable, and hope you will like it. This book will be used in ECE1250 and ECE2240. (And, just a note, all of my profits from the sales of books to this class will be donated to scholarships at the University of Utah.) (Can you use previous editions? Yes, although you will miss some of the information.
- Multisim software Links to an external site.. We will be using this software to simulate circuits.
- Labview software. Labview is a very popular software for controlling instruments and more. We will not be using it in this class (other than to control the MyDAQ, which happens behind the scenes). In the event you do not have Matlab, you can substitute Labview temporarily.
- MyDAQ hardware Links to an external site.. This cool little hardware connects to your PC via USB cable, and turns your PC into an electrical engineering lab.
Also need:
- Microsoft office or similar word processing tool. Available free for students from OSL.utah.edu Links to an external site.
- Matlab, student version
- Matlab textbook
