This is Electric George.
More specifically Electric George are the web pages of George Schils that pertain to electrical engineering. (This includes optics.) There may be significant overlap between other disciplines. See for example the math pages for overlapping articles.
How odd that a ee has bought such books!
I have many interests in electrical engineering. However these interests are mostly theoretical, with interest specifically in Laplace and Fourier methods for signal analysis, and theoretical control systems including optimal controls. I am very interested in mathematical techniques in control systems, including Fourier and Laplace transforms, matrix and Hilbert space methods, Kalman filtering, variational methods, Hamilton and Euler-Lagrange methods, and Lyapunov and Pontrygin methods. (I do very much like Russion mathematics for numerous Russian names are attached to many important techniques in control systems.) Of course some of this mathematics gets heavy duty pretty fast.
I am capable at a number of levels. First order (one-dimensional) systems (differential equations) describe money kinematics (dynamics) accurately, and first order control systems give all of the classical present worth and other formulas of discounted cash flow analysis. There are a few papers on developing such analysis based on control systems methods. At the other end of the spectrum, I am interested in topological dynamics (solving differential equations and control systems on higher topoligical spaces such as Hilbert spaces), and have begun some important learning in that area. I have enough to say here that a separate controls web page is merited.
The word control systems is grossly misused and widely misunderstood. That's too bad.
Owing to overlap between disciplines, I also have interests in computer science. (Computers are close to ee.) A very good programmer once described me as a "ee programmer" - not a complement from a computer scientist. I do work on these web pages and also try to develop custom tools to help prepare web pages. Currently I use a tool, which I developed, called visssi to help produce web pages on the client. It is a client "server side include" system, has template substitution with arguments (two different kinds), has a custom "plug in" to allow LaTeX equations to be embedded in HTML pages, and allows JScript to be embedded in a two-pass environment (Two passes allows tables of contents to be generated from embedded script at the top of the web page as well as from other web pages). (Visssi is theoretically for sale for not much over $100. It will require a lot of consulting, so you probably don't want to use it. It's written in C#.)
Also owing to overlap between disciplines I also have interests in medical systems, in particular in medical control systems. Hopefully more writing on these subjects will occur.
