BASIC ELECTRONICS FOR NON ELECTRICAL ENGINEERS (with MATLAB and Simulink Exercises)

This book gives a concise presentation of the fundamentals of Electronics with applications mainly to Biosciences. It is thought that Mechanical Engineers, Computer Scientists, Physicists, Chemical Engineers and Bio-Scientists, students and graduates, will benefit from studying the book, as they will be helped to understand better the operation of the electronic equipment they use in their daily life at home and/or at work. It will also be useful to those who participate in multidisciplinary working teams, which require use of electronic equipment in their research and development projects. Additionally, it will be useful to teachers of electronics and corresponding students in Non-Electronic Engineering Departments at Technical Colleges and Universities. No previous knowledge of electronics is assumed and the reader will be helped to comprehend the material by following the numerical examples and solving the problems using MATLAB and Simulink programs.
