<p>Hey guys,</p>
<p>I am entering engineering school by next fall at Rose-Hulman. I would like to know what is or are the best books I can get to study for the summer in Electrical Engineering. I would rather get one in calculus or everything mathematics. Thanks..</p>
<p>this was our book we used for our first electrical engineering class</p>
<p>[Amazon.com:</a> Electrical Engineering: An Introduction (Oxford Series in Electrical and Computer Engineering): Steven E. Schwarz, William G. Oldham: Books](<a href=“http://www.amazon.com/Electrical-Engineering-Introduction-Oxford-Computer/dp/0195105850/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1240219818&sr=8-1]Amazon.com:”>http://www.amazon.com/Electrical-Engineering-Introduction-Oxford-Computer/dp/0195105850/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1240219818&sr=8-1)</p>
<p>but keep in mind this was definitely a weeder class</p>
<p>thanks. any other suggestions?</p>
<p>Fundamentals of Electric Circuits by Alexander and Sadiku
Microelectronic Circuits by Sedra and Smith
A Student’s Guide to Maxwell’s Equations by Fleisch</p>
<p>These are good textbooks to read to get started in EE. The first one is an intro to circuits (KVL, KCL, resistors, capacitors, inductors, op-amps) and the second one is the natural progression to more advanced topics (device physics, bipolar transistors, MOSFET’s, etc).</p>
<p>The last text is an excellent primer to Electricity and Magnetism. It’s mostly qualitative, but I have yet to find a better text at explaining the quantities used in Maxwell’s equations. Highly recommended to anyone, actually.</p>
<p>thanks a lot for the suggestion.</p>
