Text Book

This quarter we ordered a custom version of our textbook which will be sold at the UCSD bookstore at a signfinicant discount. It should be in stock in time for the class:

The Analysis and Design of Linear Circuits, 6th Edition (UCSD Custom), R. E. Thomas, A. J. Rosa and G. J. Toussaint, Wiley 2009. ISBN 9780470953457

This custom version contains only a selection of chapters from the standard hardcover version of the book:

The Analysis and Design of Linear Circuits, 6th Edition, R. E. Thomas, A. J. Rosa and G. J. Toussaint, Wiley 2009. ISBN 0-470-38330-5

Of course you can buy the hardcover version or you may also choose to buy used earlier or newer editions (there is a 7th edition already), such as

The Analysis and Design of Linear Circuits, 5th Edition, R. E. Thomas and A. J. Rosa, Wiley 2006. ISBN 0-471-76095-1

Homework will be assigned from the 6th Edition though. 6th Edition is on the Science and Engineering Library Reserves.

Past Years Websites

You might want to check out the Summer II 2011 website, the Fall 2010 website, the Fall 2009 website, the Winter 2009 website, the Fall 2008 website, the Winter 2008 website, the Fall 2007 website, the Summer 2007 website, or the Fall 2006 website, where you will find links to older 02'-05' websites for this class. Check them out if you want to know how the exams will look like!

What's next?

Check out the following linear circuit experiment from MAE171a, Mechanical Engineering Laboratory I (prepared by Professor Raymond de Callafon). At the end MAE 140 you should be ready to perform this experiment successfully and follows this lecture with ease.
