IMPORTANT NOTE (please paste this note on the top of all ebooks):
Please use the following classifications in the names of ebooks that
you input or currently have on your hard drive:
1.) Ebooks are Adobe Acrobat PDF files or Tomeraider type only, do not
name txt files ebooks, no matter how long your lines are.
2.) In parenthesis within the name, type (ebook Type - Class)
3.) In the Type space put the format, either PDF or TOMERAIDER. In
the Class space, put the classification of the book, classifications
are: Biography, Children, Fiction, Food, Games, Government, Health,
Internet, Martial-Arts, Mathematics, Other, Programming, Reference,
Religious, Science, Sci-Fi, Sex, and Software.
This new standard is accepted by Fink Crew (who do most of the
conversions from plain text to PDF) and MacWarez (One of the largest
groups currently scanning ebooks). It helps people searching for these
files to find them more easily.

Two values are given for the speed of sound in solids, Bar
and Bulk. The Bar value provides for the ability of sound to
distort the dimensions of solids having a small-crosssectional area. Sound moves more slowly in Bar material.
The Bulk value is used below where applicable.

The human ear perceives different frequencies at
different levels. Frequencies around 3000 Hz appear
loudest with a rolloff for higher and lower frequencies.

A moving diaphragm of area A is separated from a
stationary plate by a dielectric material (air). A bias
voltage is applied between the diaphragm and plate.
Modern devices use a PVDF film for the diaphragm
which has a permanent charge, so no bias voltage is
required. Bias, in this case and in general, is an
attempt to linearize the output by shifting its operating
range to a less non-linear operating region. The DC
bias voltage is much greater in magnitude than the
time-variant signal voltage but is easily filtered out in
signal processing.

When sound traveling through a pipe encounters a
section with a different cross-sectional area, it sees a
new impedance and some sound is reflected. The

GENERAL MATHEMATICAL
PHASOR NOTATION
x + j y COMPLEX NUMBERS
Im
y
When the excitation is sinusoidal and under steadystate conditions, we can express a partial derivative in
phasor notation, by replacing with j . For
V
becomes
= LjI . Note that V ( z , t ) and
z
I ( z , t ) are functions of position and time (space-time
Re
x + jy = Ae = A cos + jA sin
Re{ x + jy} = x = A cos
only.
Magnitude { x + jy} = A = x 2 + y 2
Phase { x + jy} = = tan 1
j=e
y
x
Example:
v v
E ( r , t ) = 2 cos ( t + 3 z ) x + 4sin ( t + 3 z ) y
j
2
Magnitude {x + jy} = x + jy
The square of the magnitude of a complex number is the
product of the complex number and its complex conjugate.
The complex conjugate is the expression formed by
reversing the signs of the imaginary terms.
x + jy = ( x + jy )( x + jy ) * = ( x + jy )( x jy )

E ( r ) = 2e j3 z x j4e j3 z y
TIME-AVERAGE
When two functions are multiplied, they cannot be
converted to the phasor domain and multiplied.
Instead, we convert each function to the phasor
domain and multiply one by the complex conjugate of
the other and divide the result by two. The complex
conjugate is the expression formed by reversing the
signs of the imaginary terms.
For example, the function for power is:
P (t ) = v ( t ) i (t )
watts
P (t ) =
1
T
v ( t ) i ( t ) dt watts
T
P (t ) =
1
Re{V I * } watts
2
T = period [s]
V = voltage in the phasor domain [s]
I* = complex conjugate of the phasor domain current [A]

with the intermediate steps of squaring the sine function and
taking the mean value of the square. Notice that for this
type of function, the mean value of the square is the peak
value of the square.

Also called binomial expansion. When m is a positive

not a positive integer, the series converges for -1<x<1.

DIVERGENCE
The del operator followed by the dot product operator
is read as "the divergence of" and is an operation
performed on a vector. In rectangular coordinates,
means the sum of the partial derivatives of the
magnitudes in the x, y, and z directions with respect to
the x, y, and z variables. The result is a scalar, and a
factor of m-1 is contributed to the units of the result.
For example, in this form of Gauss' law, where D is a
density per unit area, D becomes a density per unit
volume.
div D = D =
Dx Dy Dz

GRAPHING TERMINOLOGY
With x being the horizontal axis and y the vertical, we have
a graph of y versus x or y as a function of x. The x-axis
represents the independent variable and the y-axis
represents the dependent variable, so that when a graph
is used to illustrate data, the data of regular interval (often
this is time) is plotted on the x-axis and the corresponding
data is dependent on those values and is plotted on the yaxis.
