Electromagnetic Field Theory: A Problem Solving Approach
Markus Zahn · Massachusetts Institute of Technology
This text is an introductory treatment on the junior level for a two-semester electrical engineering course starting from the Coulomb-Lorentz force law on a point charge. The theory is extended by the continuous superposition of solutions from previously developed simpler problems leading to the general integral and differential field laws. Often the same problem is solved by different methods so that the advantages and limitations of each approach becomes clear.

Complex Analysis - A Visual and Interactive Introduction
Juan Carlos Ponce Campuzano · University of Queensland
The study of complex analysis is important for students in engineering and the physical sciences and is a central subject in mathematics. In addition to being mathematically elegant, complex analysis provides powerful tools for solving problems that are either very difcult or virtually impossible to solve in any other way. In this book you will find examples, problems and applets that allow you to explore complex analysis by using the visual interactive power of the computer (or tablet).

Introduction to Control Systems
Kamran Iqbal · University of Arkansas at Little Rock
A control system manages, commands, directs, or regulates the behavior of other devices or systems using control loops. It can range from a single home heating controller using a thermostat controlling a domestic boiler to large industrial control systems which are used for controlling processes or machines. The control systems are designed via control engineering process.

An Introduction to Matlab and Mathcad
Troy Siemers · Virginia Military Institute
This textbook, or really a “coursebook” for a college freshman-level class, has been updated for Spring 2014 and provides an introduction to programming and problem solving using both Matlab and Mathcad. We provide a balanced selection of introductory exercises and real-world problems (i.e. no “contrived” problems). We include many examples and screenshots to guide the reader. We assume no prior knowledge of Matlab or Mathcad.

Python for Everybody
Chuck Severance · University of Michigan
Writing programs (or programming) is a very creative and rewarding activity. You can write programs for many reasons, ranging from making your living to solving a difficult data analysis problem to having fun to helping someone else solve a problem. This book assumes that everyone needs to know how to program, and that once you know how to program you will figure out what you want to do with your newfound skills.

Math 420: Differential Equations
Ron Breitenbach · Cosumnes College
This text is written for students in science, engineering, and mathematics who have completed single variable calculus. This course will cover the theory and the applications of the solutions of ordinary differential equations and systems of ordinary differential equations. The course will introduce students to various topics useful in the solution of differential equations including power series, Laplace transforms, matrices, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, and numerical methods.
