Reviews

"The material flows very well from chapter to chapter. It is easy to follow the thread of thought� As this book puts a lot of emphasis on design problems, it will serve the students well in grasping the materials� Those design problems are extremely helpful. They not only put the knowledge into context, but also show the students how to reverse engineer."

"There are ample examples associated with the topics covered and more than enough problems to solve at the end of chapters�[The book] covers electronic circuits extensively and with detailed mathematics and circuit analysis."
