• How to construct and analyze filters using capacitors and inductors
• How to use intuition to describe the approximate time and frequency behavior of second-order circuits containing energy storage elements (capacitors and inductors)
• The relationship between the mathematical representation of first-order circuit behavior and corresponding real-life effects
• Circuits applications using op-amps
• Measurement of circuit variables using tools such as virtual oscilloscopes, virtual multimeters, and virtual signal generators

" Brilliant course! It's definitely the best introduction to electronics in Universe! Interesting material, clean explanations, well prepared quizzes, challenging homeworks and fun labs." - Ilya.

" 6.002x will be a classic in the field of online learning. It combines Prof. Agarwal's enthusiasm for electronics and education. The online circuit design program works very well. The material is difficult. I took the knowledge from the class and built an electronic cat feeder." - Stan
