    Lectures in 2120 Chamberlin Tues. and Thurs.  1:00 pm – 2:15 pm

    Labs in 3119A Chamberlin on Wednesdays 2:25-5:25pm and 7:00-10:00pm

    Text: Horowitz & Hill The Art of Electronics, 3rd ed.
     updated index

    Supplementary text: Sprott Introduction to Modern Electronics       download pdf
                (pdfs of other useful texts are available below)

    Pre-Lab Worksheets:
       (complete before lab and turn in at the beginning of the lab session)

      Introductory lab: Read through the Basic-Scopes-Lab tutorial.  You will want to do as many of the exercises
                                here as you can during the lab.  Browse the other tutorials and manuals for the
                                MSO2014B oscilloscope to see what's there (under "Laboratory Equipment" below). 

      labs 1-10: The prelab questions are part of the Experiment Directions below.
