Course Description:
In this course, the student will develop a working knowledge of a variety of electronic circuits and devices. This includes both AC and DC circuits, as well as such devices as diodes, transistors, and operational amplifiers. Several mathematical techniques used in circuit design (analysis and synthesis) will be introduced, such as Fourier transforms. The ability to use these devices in simple applications will be emphasized.

Labs:
And here's the sample work through of the Fourier Transform of a square wave (no, I won't make you do this on a test, but the idea that any periodic function can be constructed from a series of sinusoids is very important - and very powerful).
