Any good Electrical Engineering websites?

[misle]

I'm studying for a test and there are a few topics that I don't get, and our book sucks. It has to be the worst book I've ever had to use.

Some of the topics in the exam:
Differential equations in circuits
a sh|t load of Laplace transforms - finding values at 0- & 0+, etc
Resonance
Continuous to Discrete - Sampling and differentiation approximations
etc.

I'm looking for something like math.com, but for electrical engineering.

Thanks.

whenever there was something that our book didn't cover too well I just hit up google. If you've got 1337 googling skills, finding something appropriate shouldn't be a problem.

Do it the old fashioned EE way - Google. 🙂

Tried google... I just end up surfing the web for an hour looking for an example that I can understand (there are a lot of terribly advanced problems out there).

I just need a website that explains signals, systems and transformations, is that too much to ask.

on a side note, I just ordered a highly recommended book dealing with these subjects. hopefully it will help on my next exam.

Amazon reviews for my current book go something like this: "Terrible book..."

lol, which book do you have? and which book did u order?

I've found that Neilson's (sp?) book has been pretty good to me.

We use that book and I don't care too much for his lack of examples. There are plenty of problems in the book which is great if you learn by doing, but I can't seem to figure out most of them well enough on my own. 🙁

google for Dorf solutions laplace, plus im me: dinomantri if you need some last minute
stuff.

here's the link

check the chapter 14 solutions

This is the book I currently have - Signals, Systems, and Transforms

Here's the book I ordered.

I'm going to bomb this test today, so I better do good on the next 2 exams... 🙁

we use oppenheim and willski Text. Not a bad book but they don't cover diff eqs. Those you should be able to get from any old DE book though, as their generally pretty straight forward to set up using block diagrams.

This one? That's the one we use also. I think its pretty good. Having good profs helps as well. I think I have the whole solution manual for the book on CD as well😉

The Nilson Riedel book is good for intro circuits. Great book.
Depending on the version you have, you might be able to find online solutions to the problems in the back.

The Lathi linear Systems and Signals is more math less circuits ( z transforms, laplace transforms, feedback control systems, etc....)

You could post on here with EE questions. There are a fair amount of EEs here who are senior year or graduated/working or grad school.

Had the test this morning... wasn't pretty.

That MIT site is awesome. I'm definitely going to look over their lecture notes.
