1. Exam 2 will be on Monday, October 28. The exam will be closed-book and closed-notes, and will cover the topics from homework assignments 6 through 9. The specific topics include the following:
   • Circuit analysis with the mesh-current method
   • Source transformations
   • Thevenin and Norton equivalent circuits
   • Maximum power transfer
   • Superposition
   • Operational amplifier circuits
     • Useful circuits, such as inverting amplifier, summing amplifier, etc.
     • Ideal model
     • More realistic model with finite gain, finite input resistance, and nonzero output resistance

2. Reading: In the Nilsson/Riedel text, please continue to study Chapter 5 on op amps.

3. Please solve the following problems and submit solutions on October 23:

   Chapter 5: 24, 38, and 40.
   Note in 5.40(c), the "resistance seen by the source" is the ratio (source voltage) / (source current).

4. Note that you will have four more lab sessions this semester, on the following dates: October 17, October 24, November 14, and November 21. These dates are different than the dates listed on the course syllabus.

Thank you, and have a great Fall Break!
