This is a book for a lab course meant to accompany, or follow, any first course in circuit analysis and/or electronics. It has been written for today's students, who, as is by now widely recognized, are very different from students of years past when most of the traditional teaching approaches were developed. Among other things, today's students are simply bored when required to go through a long series of procedures, the only purpose of which is...

Departing from the style of typical manuals, Hands-On Introduction to LabVIEW for Scientists and Engineers, Fourth Edition, uses a learn-by-doing approach to guide students through using this powerful laboratory tool. It helps students--who are not assumed to have prior experience--master the computer-based skills they need to carry out effective experiments.

Acclaimed for its clear, concise explanations of difficult concepts, its comprehensive problem sets and exercises, and its authoritative coverage, Introduction to Electric Circuits has set the standard for introductory circuit resources in Canada and is the most accessible, student-friendly text available.

Linear Systems and Signals, Third Edition, has been refined and streamlined to deliver unparalleled coverage and clarity. It emphasizes a physical appreciation of concepts through heuristic reasoning and the use of metaphors, analogies, and creative explanations.
