Preface

The present edition of this book is an extensive revision of the previous editions based upon suggestions of reviewers. The present edition has a strong engineering focus including analytical models and quantitative performance analysis of electronic components/subsystems and systems found in contemporary automobiles. However, the largely qualitative explanations of automotive electronic systems from previous editions has been retained and, in some cases, expanded wherever it has been possible to do so.

It has been the intention in writing this book to make it accessible to readers who have not had the formal training in physical sciences and mathematics (as well as those who have) to understand the functional operation of automotive ...
