7 Filters and the Frequency Domain.

8 Diodes.

9 Transistors.

10 Operational Amplifiers.

11 Connecting Digital to Analog and to the World.

Appendix A Logic Board.

Appendix B If the Circuit Does Not Work.

Appendix C Curve Tracker.

Index.

Professor Enrique J Galvez is an atomic and optical physics experimentalist. Recently his studies have focused on optics and quantum optics. These include fundamental studies of the geometric phase in optics, optical beams in high-order modes, singular optics, photon entanglement and studies of quantum interference with correlated photons. Prof. Galvez is also interested in physics education and in the development of new physics laboratories for undergraduates.
