The Art of Electronics - third Edition

Product Information

I really like the fact that 'modern' components are referenced throughout the example circuits/theory descriptions, making the whole learning experience seem much more grounded in reality. I think it was that stuff that appealed to a lot of physics students but put off a lot of EE students. If you’re using a textbook for a class, having the international edition is a pain if it’s different – but if it’s just for personal study, it’s no problem. Horowitz and Hill's third edition beautifully upgrades their earlier work, with substantial updates to detail, and without compromise to style, content, or technical quality.

is particularly interesting, covering mechanical switches and relays, components that we sometimes forget have non-ideal characteristics. It starts from the very basics of voltage, current and resistance without getting heavily dependent on physics theory or mathematics, and proceeds to cover a huge variety of interesting topics.The book covers many areas of circuit design, from basic DC voltage, current, and resistance, to active filters and oscillators, to digital electronics, including microprocessors and digital bus interfacing. Chapter 5 details every circuit artifact that I've encountered in the past thirty years in a through, pragmatic, and straightforward way. Any fan of the book will certainly want to consider obtaining the latest release, The Art of Electronics: The x-Chapters, which follows the previous third edition of AoE from 2015. This is great if you’re an even somewhat experienced designer looking for some from-the-trenches experience on a specific topic, but maybe less useful for the beginner — more about that later. It also includes discussions of such often-neglected areas as high-frequency, high-speed design techniques and low- power applications.

Important: Your credit card will NOT be charged when you start your free trial or if you cancel during the trial period. Sure it’s a great book for what it covers, but the x-Chapters itself is absolutely incomplete without AoE3 by its side. So, having had the book in hand — almost continuously — for a few days, I think I’ve got a decent idea of what it’s all about. In fact, each chapter of the new book begins with a repetition of the end-of-chapter review from the corresponding part of AoE3.Paul Horowitz is Professor of Physics at Harvard University, where he originated the Laboratory Electronics course in 1974, from which emerged The Art of Electronics.

Yes, but an EE undergrad degree doesn’t necessarily teach you about electronic applications unless you take courses that focus around that. We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others.I still have my copy from the early 80s, and it is particularly well suited to younger aspiring EEs, but it also is a good intro into electronics for full grown newbie makers.

The style of the book is that of an experienced engineer telling you all they know and emphasising what is important - rather than an academic / technical lecturer. The 2001 pressing of the second edition ( ISBN 0521370957) lists "Reprinted 1990 (twice), 1991, 1993, 1994 (twice), 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998 (twice), 1999, 2001". If you are a non-technical person trying to learn from scratch, this will be a tough textbook, but it is do-able with a little dedication.But recently, having had my eye caught by some "clever" YouTube electronics makers, I felt a hankering, yearning and a stirring of desire to recapture the spirit of things past. Like in the original AoE books, in addition to the discussion of design issues, the new book contains selection tables for various electronic parts. Clear, direct, and well written with all the needed charts and drawings to illustrate needed concepts.
