Publisher's Synopsis
This is the second edition of an undergraduate textbook that covers the core topics in electronics that all electrical engineers should know. The book has been upgraded to reflect changes in technology and in electrical engineering curricula. This text concentrates mainly on electronic circuits, so that changes in circuitry, rather than in device structure, are stressed. The philosophy remains the same: it is important that the electrical engineer has a thorough understanding of the analytic tools needed to analyze and design electronic circuits. Therefore, topics such as modeling are still discussed in detail. The electrical engineer must be better educated than the technician, and so the mathematical viewpoint of the first edition has been carried over into the second edition.
