EECS 215 Winter 2012 Semester

December 15, 2011

Text books

The only required text book will be Circuits by Ulaby and Maharbiz. The preferred edition will be the second printing (2010, ISBN-13: 978-1-934891-10-0), but any edition is ok. You should consult the publisher’s website for errata and other information. We will make use of Multisim in required assignments, so you will need the National Instruments DVD that comes with the text. The second printing DVD includes Multisim version 11 which installs and works well under Windows 7. The early DVD with Multisim version 10 is more difficult to install under Windows 7. We will attempt to assist you on this, but will make no guarantees. If you purchase a used book without the DVD, be warned that obtaining this is relatively expensive.

Mydaq

We are going to make use of Mydaq for optional extra credit assignments and projects; however, we will not require purchase of this device this semester. Students using it in the FA11 semester found it to be valuable and you should consider use of this optional resource. If you are considering this, you can purchase a bundle of the text and the Mydaq unit at an attractive price at:
