- Examples illustrating key points in the text included in each chapter. Provides student with illustrations on how to apply theory developed in the text. Assists the instructor in development of material to be used in future chapters.
- Computational Computer Examples included in each chapter. Illustrates the use of the computer for calculation of various performance curves. Allows instructor to have student reproduce performance curves included in text or add to them; the student is taught not to take something on "face value" but to illustrate it for his or her own edification.
- Simulation Computer Examples included in many chapters. Shows student how to use the computer as a simulation tool, thereby allowing waveforms, spectra, and performance curves to be generated. Allows the instructor to illustrate how various performance curves were generated, such as Figures 3.52 and 3.53, or to verify statements in the text that system A, which can't be analyzed, performs worse than ideal system B but that the loss isn't great enough to warrant approximating the ideal system better.
- Chapter summaries arranged as bullet items. Provides a concise checklist for the student to use in reviewing for examinations. Provides a concise checklist for the instructor in seeing if essential points have been covered or in making up examinations.
