“Out of all the online materials and physical texts I have used, zyBooks is the best thing I have ever used. It’s so concise and to the point and easy to understand.”

Same Text, More Action

Engineering Signals and Systems (2e) is the complete zyBooks version of the Engineering Signals and Systems (2nd edition) textbook published by National Technology and Science Press that offers a highly-engaging interactive approach to learning circuit analysis and design.

  • Over 130 dynamic animations provide insight into numerous topics
  • Hundreds of learning questions help students understand topics through incremental steps keeping students engaged and providing thorough explanations of both right and wrong answers
  • Over 100 auto-generated and auto-graded Challenge Activities (“homework problems”)
  • Adopters have access to a test bank with questions for every chapter
  • Approximately 100 new MATLAB® scripts that students can copy and use to experiment and explore

Now available – zyLabs with MATLAB® Grader™

Available for a modest extra cost, MATLAB® zyLabs is a program submission and auto-grading system. MATLAB® zyLabs is an implementation of MATLAB® Grader™ within the zyVersion through our partnership with MathWorks.

  • Instructors can create labs and assessments using features built into MATLAB® zyLabs and write scripts for custom assessments – no software installation required
  • MATLAB® zyLabs are fully integrated into the zyVersion and provide students access to MATLAB’s industry standard toolboxes
  • Students can run MATLAB® commands directly in zyLabs, avoiding the complexity of using external tools
  • Students receive immediate feedback on their submissions and can correct and resubmit their solutions, increasing student learning and motivation

New! Optional Challenge Activities

As an instructor, you now have the ability to mark Challenge Activities as optional, which means you can indicate which Challenge Activities your students need to complete in order to meet your course requirements. Those marked as optional won’t contribute to point totals in reports or assignments.

Making Challenge Activities Optional

What is a zyVersion?

zyVersions are leading print titles converted and adapted to zyBooks’ interactive learning platform, allowing for a quick and easy transition to an engaging digital experience for instructors and students.

zyBooks’ web-native content helps students visualize concepts to learn faster and more effectively than with a traditional textbook.

This zyVersion of Engineering Signals and Systems (2e) benefits both students and instructors:

  • Instructor benefits
  • Customize your course by reorganizing existing content, or adding your own content

  • Continuous publication model updates your course with the latest content and technologies

  • Robust reporting gives you insight into students’ progress, reading and participation

  • Student benefits
  • Learning questions and other content serve as an interactive form of reading and provide instant feedback

  • Concepts come to life through extensive animations embedded into the interactive content

  • Save chapters as PDFs to reference material at any time,
    even after the course has been completed
