Hi, My name is Adrian Waygood. I am a former lecturer and instructional designer, now retired in Cyprus, having worked in the Armed Forces and defence industry, as well as for technical colleges in Canada and the United Kingdom. I have written three textbooks on electrical engineering: 'An Introduction to Electrical Science' (two editions, the second greatly expanded) and 'Electrical Engineering for Technicians'.
