Excerpt from Applied Electricity: A Text-Book of Electrical Engineering for Second Year Students His book is intended as a Text-book of Electrical Engineering for second year students. I define these as students who have already become acquainted with the elementary fundamental principles and laws of Magnetism and Electricity, and who have also a knowledge of the elements of Mechanics, Heat, and Mathematics. It may seem that I am assuming too much for the average student in a Technical Institute, but if he is to gain any really useful knowledge of this subject such preliminary training is absolutely essential. My experience teaches me that students are quite prepared to devote their first year to this preliminary work when the necessity for and the subsequent advantage of it are pointed out.
