Hey, I'm in first year engineering (mechanical), but we study EE as well. I've got exams coming up in about 2 weeks, and I need a good intro text to help me study since the lecture notes I have aren't really adequete.

The kind of stuff I'm covering include circuit theory (thevenin problems, superposition etc) boolean algebra, digital logic gates, binary and a little bit of signal processing...

It's just an introduction to this stuff really, nothing to complicated, but I still need some help.

Thanks guys.
