Electric Circuits

Catalog description

This course explores the fundamentals of passive and active circuit theory, with an emphasis on analysis techniques at the level of applied differential equations and basic complex variable analysis. The subject matter also introduces discrete system theory. Concepts presented include: resistive circuits, circuits dealing with energy and storing elements, Kirchhoff’s laws, transfer function theory, system stability, frequency response and an introduction to discrete systems. Laboratory experiments include resistive circuits, OP-Amp Circuitry, real time first and second order systems and frequency response. Pre-requisite(s): MATH 210 Calculus III: Multivariable Calculus with Linear Algebra and PHYS 151 Physics II . Pre- or co- requisite(s): MATH 220 Differential Equations .
