“Not since Stephen Hawking has anyone so
captured the essence of the Universe and all of its
simplicity and
complexity..."
The
Gateway to Understanding: Electrons to Waves and Beyond
WORKBOOK
by
Matthew M. Radmanesh, Ph.D.
Foreword by Dr. Asad Madni, C.
Eng., Fellow IEEE, Fellow IEE
A
Companion To The Gateway To
Understanding...
Learning
the subject of electricity and electronics through the
study of this workbook is tremendously more beneficial
than simply purchasing and reading the book on your own.
The workbook provides many advantages
including:
a) A step
by step approach presenting a series of lessons, which
are bite-sized pieces of information taken from the
book.
b)
The lessons act like a trail or a “road to knowledge”
with a definite beginning and a finite end. This
prevents possible frustration of the reader from
aimlessly reading the book or getting overwhelmed by the
enormity of the subject.
c)
Solutions to many of the end of chapter quizzes provide
an excellent check-out to the reader’s comprehension of
the material.
d) A
streamlined approach to learning
electricity/electronics, which takes irrelevant
materials off the direct path of achieving the final
goal of total comprehension.
e)
Author's numerous comments, exercises and summary adds
clarity and understanding and brings simplification to a
very complicated subject.
f) You also get a Certificate upon course
completion.

"Education in the
science of physics, engineering,
electronics and others consists of guiding
the reader along a gradient of known data,
with the highest attention to the basic
concepts that form the foundation of any of
these desired fields of
study.
"The basic concepts
presented in this book are far more
fundamental than the mother sciences of
engineering (i.e., physics and mathematics)
and cover the essential truth about our
physical universe in which we live. These
basic truths convey a much deeper
understanding about the nature of the
physical universe than has ever been
discussed in any electronic or for that
matter any scientific
textbook."

About the Author
Matthew M. Radmanesh received
his MSEE and Ph.D. degrees from the
University of Michigan, Ann
Arbor, in Microwave
Electronics and Electro-Optics in 1980 and
1984, respectively.
He has worked
in academia for Kettering University
and in industry for Hughes
Aircraft Co., Maury Microwave Corp. and
Boeing Aircraft Co. He is currently a
faculty member in the electrical and
computer engineering department at
California State
University,
Northridge, CA.
Dr. Radmanesh
is a senior member of IEEE, Eta Kappa Nu
Honor society and a past president (three
years) of the SFV chapter of the IEEE
Microwave Theory and Technique (MTT)
society. His many years of experience in
both microwave industry and academia have
led to over 40 technical papers in national
and international journals and several
design handbooks in microwave engineering
and solid state devices.
He received
the distinguished lecturer award in the 1994
IEEE international Microwave Symposium and
was awarded twice by IEEE LA council for his
contributions to the MTT society (1994,
1995). He also received two awards for
commitment and dedication to education, from
IEEE in 2002 and 2003.
Dr. Radmanesh
authored a popular book entitled “The Gateway to
Understanding: Electrons to Waves and
Beyond,” accompanied by a comprehensive
workbook, both published by AuthorHouse in
2005 as well as another book entitled
"Radio
Frequency and Microwave Electronics
Illustrated" published by Prentice Hall
in 2001. He holds two patents for his
pioneering work and novel designs of two
millimeter-wave noise sources. His hobbies
include chess, philosophy, soccer and
tennis.
Dr. Radmanesh
intends to bring about a higher level of
understanding in the scientific community
and/or the society at large, about the basic
principles of life and livingness of which
the knowledge about sciences and engineering
is but a subset.

"While studying sciences and
engineering at the university, the author
always looked for simplicity, a higher level of
truth, and a deeper level of understanding in
all of the rigorous mathematics and many of the
physical laws that were
presented.
Upon further investigation, the
underlying principles, which form the
backbone of all extant physical sciences,
have finally emerged and are presented as
the "'undamentals of physical
sciences'.
"In general, we can see that
workable knowledge is like a pyramid, where
from a handful of common denominators
efficiently expressed by a series of basic
postulates, axioms and natural laws, which form
the foundation of a science, an almost
innumerable number of devices, circuits, and
systems can be thought up and
developed."

"The emphasis has been shifted from rigorous
and sophisticated mathematical solutions of
complex equations and instead has been aptly
placed on conceptual understanding and
electronic waves by using simple explanations,
while emphasizing the basics all the way.
"The emphasis is on fundamentals and for
this reason all new technical terms must be
thoroughly defined and understood as they are
introduced. This is a novel approach and is
based upon the results obtained in recent
investigations and research in the field of
education, which has shown that the lack of (or
the slightest uncertainty on) the definition of
terms will pose as formidable obstacles in the
reader''s mind in achieving full comprehension
of the material.
"A series of uncomprehended or misunderstood
technical terms will block one''s road to total
comprehension and mastery of the subject. This
undesirable condition will eventually lead to a
dislike and total abandonment of the
subject.
"Therefore, the road before one is at once a
clear-cut path to knowledge by understanding
that one needs to grasp the terms fully before
one grasps the concept, and all of these should
occur long before one achieves mastery of any
desired subject. "
