[MUSIC] Hi welcome to Linear Circuits, I'm Dr. Bonnie Ferri. I'm a Professor in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Georgia Tech and I'm also in charge to the undergraduate program there. This is the first in a two-part sequence of courses. Linear Circuits 1, which covered constant inputs or DC inputs to the circuit, and this covers sinusoidal inputs to the circuit. And if students are interested in this topic, there's a follow-on course, a separate course, called Introduction to Electronics that we've created. In this particular course, our learning objectives are first to learn how to analyze circuits with sinusoidal inputs to them. So you should be able to solve circuits, for example, like this. Another objective is to understand the frequency behavior of circuits. So I have inputs to a circuit that might have different components, different frequency components. And I want to understand how the output is affected by the particular circuit and this leads into the idea of filter. So we want you to be able to just understand and to design filters. Another objective is to introduce power in AC circuits and to analyze transformers. The background that you'll need to be successful in this course first is the background for that we introduced in Linear Circuits 1, DC analysis. and you need to be comfortable with that. You should be able to apply the methods of analyzing resistive circuits, like this. Be familiar with R, L, and C circuits. Now if you're a little bit rusty on that, we do provide a few of the key videos from that first course in the background module for this course, so you can go back and refer to that. A couple of times during this particular course, we do refer back to that material, we've call it module one or module two. And that is relates to module one or module two of the previous course. There are two instructors for this course. Myself and Dr. Joy Harris, who is also a faculty member in my department. To be successful in this course, first and foremost you will have to complete the assignments. So we have graded problems and quizzes. The overall passing grade is 70%. We want you to be able to use the discussion forum for asking all questions. And in order to use the discussion forum, you have to be able to have proper netiquette. Be respectful, constructive in your questions and comments. More details about netiquette are in this syllabus. The expectations. You should watch the videos each week. And I would suggest downloading the handouts, slide handouts for each module, and writing your notes directly on those. Do the in-video quizzes, these do not affect your grade at all, but they're very helpful for you to learn the material. Seek help if needed, again using the discussion forum for the communications. And we expect everyone to have academic honesty. I wish you the best of luck in completing this course, thank you. [SOUND]
