Captivate your students - and entice new students to the electrical engineering major - with Roman Kuc's illuminating look at how commonplace information systems, like infra-red auto-focus cameras, compact disc systems, bar codes, credit and smart cards work, and how clever engineering solutions are used to solve technical problems. Designed for readers with no science background, the book introduces them to the thought processes used by electrical engineers to think quantitatively and then design useful systems. As a result, readers not only learn the facts behind information and transmission, coding and storage, but how these systems came to be developed in response to a shift of information to a digital medium. Unlike traditional science texts that begin with theory and then illustrate that theory with applications, this book starts with practical, real-world systems and then presents the physical theory and mathematical analysis required to understand their operation.

4.0 out of 5 stars
EE lite,
This review is from: The Digital Information Age: An Introduction to Electrical Engineering (Paperback)
Despite the authorship of a Yalie, this textbook serves as an excellent introduction to the wonderful world of electical engineering for the liberal arts student. It is mostly useless for those already familiar with the basic concepts behind signals and systems. Nevertheless, the majority of the population that is unfamiliar with the world of EE could definitely benefit from this text. I personally found very easy to understand, almost childish, but that is because it served as the text for a much harder course at Princeton. The reason the course at Yale which this book was made for is so popular is because it is a complete gut class. Although I am inclined to write this book off, the unfortunate lack of tech-savvy among much of the populace necessitates this book. It should provide a cure for most who read it.
