Description
Ideal for a one-semester course, this concise textbook covers basic electronics for undergraduate students in science and engineering. Beginning with the basics of general circuit laws and resistor circuits to ease students into the subject, the textbook then covers a wide range of topics, from passive circuits to semiconductor-based analog circuits and basic digital circuits. Using a balance of thorough analysis and insight, readers are shown how to work with electronic circuits and apply the techniques they have learned. The textbook's structure makes it useful as a self-study introduction to the subject. All mathematics is kept to a suitable level, and there are several exercises throughout the book. Password-protected solutions for instructors, together with eight laboratory exercises that parallel the text.

“I have been frustrated in the past by my inability to find a suitable book for a one-semester electronics course that starts with analog and progresses to basic digital circuits. Most available books seem to be out of date or aimed at electrical engineers rather than scientists. Eggleston’s book is exactly what I was looking for—a basic course ideal for science students needing a practical introduction to electronics. Written concisely and clearly, the book emphasizes many practical applications, but with sufficient theoretical explanation so that the results don’t simply appear out of thin air.”

“The illustrations are superb, and the style of writing is concise and clear. I recommend the book to those looking for a modern introduction to electronics.”

“…a useful, well-written work for academic curricula or self-study on numerous topics related to basic electronics and electrical circuit theory.”
L. McLauchlan, Choice
“This excellent one-semester undergraduate text rapidly brings the reader from elementary concepts to useful circuits with real components. The practice problems are challenging and build on the concepts covered in the chapters.”
