Martin Hartley Jones Presents a full account of the subject, starting with basic concepts such as amplification, and progressing to analogue and digital IC chip applications, including a lucid account of microcomputers. All the topics are effectively illustrated with lively experiments, and the mathematics is not permitted to obscure the electronics, so the book remains very readable. - Back cover ER -
