Readings
- Fitzgerald, A. E., Charles Kingsley, Jr., and Stephen D. Umans. Electric Machinery . 6th ed. McGraw-Hill, 2007. ISBN: 9780071230100.
- Beaty, H. Wayne, and James L. Kirtley, Jr. Electric Motor Handbook . McGraw-Hill, 1998. ISBN: 9780070359710.
- Not really a handbook but not yet a textbook, this shows some of the analytical techniques we will be using. It is a bit more finished than the course notes but does not go beyond them.
