Cook N.P. Electronics: A Complete Course + CD

2nd edition. — Prentice Hall, 2003. — 1072 p. — ISBN 978-0131110663.After 16 textbooks, 26 editions, and 19 years of front-line education experience, best selling author Nigel Cook's new book makes the world of electronics easily accessible in one complete guide. Employing his now renowned reader-friendly practical approach, this single volume provides comprehensive coverage of the three electronics fundamental courses; DC/AC, DEVICES and DIGITAL. An introductory unit overviews the electronics industry, details the product development process, and outlines responsibilities and requirements of different technician job types. For individuals interested in the study of DC/AC, devices, and digital electronics.With many programs compressing their courses in order to devote more time to the electronics system applications, such as communication, computing, industrial, and consumer, a strong need arises for a single electronics fundamentals text. Employing his now renowned student-friendly practical approach, Electronics: A Complete Course by Nigel Cook provides comprehensive coverage of the three electronics fundamental courses.DC/AC Electronics.
