Ebook: Fundamentals of electrical engineering

From its beginnings in the late nineteenth century, electrical engineering has blossomed from its focus on electrical circuits for power, telegraphy and teletelephony to a much broader range of disciplines. Still, the underlying themes are relevant today: Power creation and transmission and information have run through electrical engineerings century and a half life. This book concentrates on the latter theme: the representation, manipulation, transmission, and reception of information by electrical means. This book describes what information is, how engineers quantify information, and how electrical signals represent information.
