Description

Designed for a one semester course on electronics for physics and science majors, this text offers a comprehensive, up-to-date alternative to currently available texts by providing a modern approach to the course. It includes the mix of theory and practice that matches the typical electronics course syllabus with balanced coverage of both digital and analog electronics.

About the Author
Professor Enrique J Galvez is an atomic and optical physics experimentalist. Recently his studies have focused on optics and quantum optics. These include fundamental studies of the geometric phase in optics, optical beams in high-order modes, singular optics, photon entanglement and studies of quantum interference with correlated photons. Prof. Galvez is also interested in physics education and in the development of new physics laboratories for undergraduates.
Recipient of the 2010 Award to Faculty Member for Research at an Undergraduate Institution from the American Physical Society.
Features
• Up-to-date and comprehensive coverage of both digital and analog electronics.

• A central emphasis that electronics is hands-on; that the objective is to build something; and that no black-boxes should be left unopened.

• A focus on discrete components so that students can build their understanding of more complex integrated devices and their specifications.

• Student friendly writing style

• Lab Projects section at the end of most chapters which contain many interesting circuits that have been proven to work well for instruction.

• Accompanying Lab Manual as well as an online component that allows for regular updates to contemporary equipment.
