McGraw-Hill Electrical and Electronic Engineering Series. This book, intended as a text for a first course in electronics for electrical engineering or physics students, has two primary objectives: to present a clear consistent picture of the internal physical behavior of many electronics devices, and to teach the reader how to analyze and design electronic circuits using these devices. There are over 600 homework problems, which will test the student's grasp of the fundamental concepts enunciated in the book and will give him experience in the analysis and design of electronic circuits.
