READ: 1.1, 1.2.1, A.2 thru A.2.2.
READ: the items on the web site from ABOUT EXAMS thru POLICY ON COLLABORATION.
READ and study the item on the web site entitled, "READ THIS TO REVIEW YOUR KNOWLEDGE ABOUT NUMBERS". Do the associated problems, and hand them in with the first assignment. If you don't do well on these problems, think about how to improve your skills on the subject. Ask for help if necessary.
PROBLEMS: In text A/(20, 22-24), plus
s.1. Consider a circuit consisting of a voltage source V and two resistors, R1 and R2, all in series. If V = 6, R1 = 3, and R2 = 6, find the magnitude of the voltage V2 across R2.
s.2. In the circuit for A/21 (Fig. A.18), change the 3 ohm resistor to 1 ohm and answer the questions for A/21.
Optional: A/21 Note: Optional problems are supplied to give you additional practice if you desire it. They are NOT required, will NOT be graded, and will NOT be counted in any way toward your grade. Answers will be supplied. Note also that problems labeled in the text with asterisks have answers in the back of the book.

Problems: 3/(9, 14b (the numbers are OCTAL, see p. 31), 16a, 17, 18)
Special problem S1. Suppose you were using the K-map algorithm for finding a minimal SOP expression for the 4-variable function for Z1 mapped in Fig. 3.54 (p. 101). For the FIRST step, consider separately each of the octally specified points {0, 1, 2, 3, 11, 14, 15}. Specify, for each point, a pi (prime implicant) whose choice in the FIRST STEP in your solution would be dictated by that point, or, if no such pi exists for a point, enter "NONE" for it in your answer. Do NOT proceed qny further with the solution.
