Our fascination with gadgets and reliance on machinery is only growing day by day and hence from an engineering perspective, it is absolutely crucial to be familiar with the analysis and designing of such Circuits, at the very least one should be able to identify components.Circuit analysis is one of basic subjects in engineering and particularly important for Electrical and Electronics students. So circuit analysis is a good starting point for anyone wanting to get into the field. It is a very easy subject to learn and understand, but for this reason most of us end up taking the subject lightly and therefore misunderstand many key ideas. This will lead to a lot of headache in other subjects. In this book we provide a concise introduction into basic Circuit analysis. A basic knowledge of Calculus and some Physics are the only prerequisites required to follow the topics discussed in the book. We've tried to explain the various fundamental concepts of Circuit theory in the simplest manner without an over reliance on math. Also, we have tried to connect the various topics with real life situations wherever possible. This way even first timers can learn the basics of Circuit theory with minimum effort. Hopefully the students will enjoy this different approach to Circuit Analysis. The various concepts of the subject are arranged logically and explained in a simple reader-friendly language with illustrative figures.We have covered basic topics extensively and given an introduction to advanced topics like s- domain analysis. This book will hopefully serve as inspiration to learn Circuit theory, and in turn Electrical engineering in greater depths.

DSP is a very math intensive subject and one would require a deep understanding in mathematics to understand various aspects of DSP. Although there are many books which cover DSP extensively, most of them or all of them would require a ton of mathematics to understand even the most fundamental concepts. For a first timer in DSP, getting their heads around advanced math topics like Fourier transform etc is a very hard task. Most students tend to lose interest in DSP, because of this sole reason. Students don't stick around long enough to discover how beautiful a subject DSP is. In this book, explainations of the various fundamental concepts are given in an intuitive manner with minimum maths. Also, the various topics are connected with real life situations wherever possible. This way even the first timers can learn the basics of DSP with minimum effort. Hopefully the students will enjoy this different approach to DSP. The various concepts of the subject are arranged logically and explained in a simple reader-friendly language with MATLAB examples.

In this day and age everything around us is automatic and our desire to automate more stuff is only increasing. Control systems finds its applications in everything you can possibly think of. The concept of Control system plays an important role in the working of, everything from home appliances to guided missiles to self-driving cars. These are just the examples of Control systems we create. Control systems also exist in nature. Within our own body, there are numerous control systems, such as the pancreas, which regulate our blood sugar. In the most abstract sense it is possible to consider every physical object a control system. Hence from an engineering perspective, it is absolutely crucial to be familiar with the analysis and designing methods of such Control systems. Control systems is one of those subjects that go beyond a particular branch of engineering. Control systems find its application in Mechanical, Electrical, Electronics, Civil Engineering and many other branches of engineering. Although this book is written in an Electrical engineering context, we are sure that others can also easily follow the topics and learn a thing or two about Control systems.In this book we provide a concise introduction into classical Control theory. A basic knowledge of Calculus and some Physics are the only prerequisites required to follow the topics discussed in the book. In this book, We've tried to explain the various fundamental concepts of Control Theory in an intuitive manner with minimum math. Also, We've tried to connect the various topics with real life situations wherever possible. This way even first timers can learn the basics of Control systems with minimum effort. Hopefully the students will enjoy this different approach to Control Systems. The various concepts of the subject are arranged logically and explained in a simple reader-friendly language with MATLAB examples.This book is not meant to be a replacement for those standard Control systems textbooks, rather this book should be viewed as an introductory text for beginners to come in grips with advanced level topics covered in those books. This book will hopefully serve as inspiration to learn Control systems in greater depths.

This book offers a concise introduction to the analysis of electrical transients aimed at students who have completed introductory circuits and freshman calculus courses. While it is written under the assumption that these students are encountering transient electrical circuits for the first time, the mathematical and physical theory is not ‘watered-down.’ That is, the analysis of both lumped and continuous (transmission line) parameter circuits is performed with the use of differential equations (both ordinary and partial) in the time domain, and the Laplace transform. The transform is fully developed in the book for readers who are not assumed to have seen it before. The use of singular time functions (unit step and impulse) is addressed and illustrated through detailed examples. The appearance of paradoxical circuit situations, often ignored in many textbooks (because they are, perhaps, considered ‘difficult’ to explain) is fully embraced as an opportunity to challenge students. In addition, historical commentary is included throughout the book, to combat the misconception that the material in engineering textbooks was found engraved on Biblical stones, rather than painstakingly discovered by people of genius who often went down many wrong paths before finding the right one. MATLAB® is used throughout the book, with simple codes to quickly and easily generate transient response curves.
