Electronics Engineering Numerical and Analytical Methods with MATLAB® for Electrical Engineers William Bober Florida Atlantic University, Boca Raton, USA

Andrew Stevens Electrical Science, Inc., Rye Brook, New York, USA

"…presents some excellent frameworks for computational methods— students should be able to build programs more effectively by understanding the core components and following the directions."

—Michael R. Gustafson II, Duke University, Durham, North Carolina, USA

Exploring the numerical methods electrical engineers use for design analysis and testing, this book features standalone chapters that, when combined, form the basis for a course on computational methods and the MATLAB® programming environment. The text discusses mathematical techniques for matrix algebra, root finding, integration, and differential equations.

Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering Charles A. Gross and Thaddeus A. Roppel Auburn University, Alabama, USA

Real-world engineering problems aren’t neatly divided into mechanical, electrical, chemical, civil, and other categories. For instance, civil engineers must contend with lighting design issues. Mechanical engineers have to deal with motors in HVAC applications, and chemical engineers are forced to handle problems involving process control.

Simple and easy-to-use, yet maintaining enough mathematical and scientific rigor to remain useful in practical applications, this book teaches the fundamentals of electrical engineering without including the typical analytical methods that hold little relevance for non-electrical engineers.

Probability Foundations for Engineers Joel A. Nachlas Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Blacksburg, USA

Suitable for a first course in probability theory, this accessible text includes numerous practical examples based on engineering applications. It begins with a summary of set theory, and then introduces probability and its axioms. It covers conditional probability, independence, and approximations. Examples are not presented in terms of "balls in urns." Many examples do relate to gambling with coins, dice, and cards, but most are based on observable physical phenomena familiar to engineering students. A solutions manual and PowerPoint slides are available with qualifying course adoption.
