Includes lectures about a less-appreciated by-product of the microelectronics revolution, namely the deeper understanding of current flow, energy exchange and device operation that it has enabled, which forms the basis for what we call the bottom-up approach. The book assumes very little background beyond linear algebra and differential equations.
