Customer Reviews

Good book, to the point.
A good book for beginners, and to the point. The title says it all "Basic Electronics", and will give anyone new a good foundation about things from what it is, how it works, from the very electrons and atoms to circuits and basic theory.

Tough first chapter but stick with it, rewards do follow.
I found the first chapter in this book a bit tough to read. It can be very technical but it does let up after chapter one. For basic understanding it is a good idea to read the math explanations but no need to memorize it to understand the rest of the book. The following chapters unfold in a very easy to follow manner and you will have a good understanding of the basic components that make up electronic devices.
Worth the money!

Great book when just starting in Electrical Engineering
Great book when just starting in Electrical Engineering. It has more detail that is easier to understand then most textbooks you will get in your first year or two of Electrical Engineering.
