4.0 out of 5 stars
Physics Student,
By ckott72 "ckott72" (Washington DC, United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: An Introduction to Modern Electronics (Paperback)
I used this book for an intro circuits course. My professor was fond of saying about it, "It contains just information to get you into trouble."That's it in a nutshell. This book does a pretty good job of introducing circuit theory in a manner that is very easy to understand. Each topic is broken up into a chapter. Most chapters are only a few pages long (I don't think any of the chapters are even 10 pages), and they do not go into depth. It is aimed at students with no electronics knowlege, and with little mathematical knowlege. Though it does use some calculus, these equations are rare. 90% of the book is algebra-based. I gave this book 4 stars because it assumes to little of the reader. While it is a college text, most high school kids that have taken any calculus could probably understand it with ease. As an after-thought, if you are using this as a high school text, you'll probably enjoy it. It is a great text.

No Good,
By Physics hobo "Physics hobo" (PA, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: An Introduction to Modern Electronics (Paperback)
Seriously, if you want to understand EE, get Agarwal's text...this thing is for students who are a little , not so good!

Modular and self-contained,
This review is from: An Introduction to Modern Electronics (Paperback)
This text is nice in that it makes very few assumptions about the course that it is used in. The book, and individual sections, are all self-contained. This allows the instructor to choose any sequence of topics for the course, and allows the inclusion or exclusion of math skills such as complex analysis (for phasors).
Although the text has some problems, there are only a few, and they are not terrific, so instructors will still have to go afield to find problem sets. Although an excellent text, it is now 18 years old - a new edition would probably be welcome.
