2.0 out of 5 stars
Not Good For Practical Use - Good Semi-Conductor Section,
By A Customer
This review is from: Electronics for Scientists: Physical Principles with Applications to Instrumentation (Textbook Binding)
I bought this book with the hopes that it will be a quick read and a good reference for a working scientist. I took two quarters of "Electronics for Physicists" and I know this book leaves out many items covered in those courses. Further, as a working scientist in need of doing electronics, I find myself reaching for other books, since this one is not complete.The book does lack examples that would allow the reader to build an intuition as to what some of the circuits do. Also lacks ample examples to do the analysis. The book leaves out the responses of such circuits. I can go in the lab and figure it out, but this takes additional time. I couldn't find any 'constructive' exercises that would allow a reader to construct. Perhaps a 'Lab book' that would compliment this one is in order. The section on semi-conductor physics is well thought out, but this is also done in other books. Overall, I would look to other electronic books to get started in the lab. Further, I don't feel this book would prepare the reader for any sort of GRE, PhD quals or electronics course exam. I'm giving it two stars since the section on semi-conductor physics is really good. |
