The Art of Electronics by Paul Horowitz and Winfield Hill (1989, Hardcover,...

Description: About this productProduct InformationThis is the thoroughly revised and updated second edition of the hugely successful The Art of Electronics. Widely accepted as the authoritative text and reference on electronic circuit design, both analog and digital, this book revolutionized the teaching of electronics by emphasizing the methods actually used by circuit designers -- a combination of some basic laws, rules of thumb, and a large bag of tricks. The result is a largely nonmathematical treatment that encourages circuit intuition, brainstorming, and simplified calculations of circuit values and performance. The new Art of Electronics retains the feeling of informality and easy access that helped make the first edition so successful and popular. It is an ideal first textbook on electronics for scientists and engineers and an indispensable reference for anyone, professional or amateur, who works with electronic circuits.Product IdentifiersPublisherCambridge University PressISBN-100521370957ISBN-139780521370950eBay Product ID (ePID)203889Product Key FeaturesFormatHardcoverPublication Year1989LanguageEnglishDimensionsWeight70.5 OzWidth7.3in.Height2in.Length10.2in.Additional Product FeaturesDewey Edition23Table of ContentList of tables; Preface; Preface to first edition; 1.

I cannot recommend this book highly enough to anyone whose research or experiments require some electronics.' Optical Engineering, "Another electronics textbook that became an international best-seller... the book is renowned for presenting the techniques that circuit designers actually use." IEEE Spectrum, 'Full of clever circuits and sharp insights, but with a surprising minimum of mathematics â€¦ The depth is genuine, as is the richness of examples, data and apt tricks.' Scientific American, "...a refreshingly simple, practical and comprehensive textbook on the subject of electronic circuit behavior and design...one of the few contemporary practical reference handbooks on electronic design basics."

IEEE Spectrum, 'The best self-teaching book and reference book in electronics â€¦ The beauty and fun of electronics shows through.' Radio Communication, "A lovely book, it covers a wealth of electronic topics in a very readable style." Richard Morin, Sunexpert, "The second volume carries on une grande tradition as well as adding 400 new pages to the original (already massive) text. It is, without doubt, the book for the practical engineer. No cerebral theorizing here, no long sections of abstruse mathematical derivations; just page after page of solid empirical engineering. It is also light hearted and anecdotal, with some wonderful pages of bad ciruit 'howlers' that the authors have encountered." John V. Hatfield, IJEEE, "Far and away the finest book on the subject of electronics ... in the last decade. I cannot recommend this book highly enough to anyone whose research or experiments require some electronics." Optical Engineering, "This book provides a painless way to learn about electronic design. It is also a good read for those already experienced in electronics." EDN (Magazine Edition), 'Full of clever circuits and sharp insights, but with a surprising minimum of mathematics ... The depth is genuine, as is the richness of examples, data and apt tricks.' Scientific American, "This book is filled with a tremendous diversity of valuable information. More importantly, this book is a joy to read...It's not at all like studying--it's too much fun." EDN (News Edition), 'The best self-teaching book and reference book in electronics ... The beauty and fun of electronics shows through.' Radio Communication, "..it comes as close as any book we've seen to fulfilling the promise inherent in its title...written as though to educate the novice, but practicing engineers will encounter many useful tidbits they didn't know, hadn't thought about, or had long forgotten."
