An Introduction to Modern Electronics

Review: I used this book for an intro circuits course. My professor was fond of saying about it, "It contains just information to get you into trouble."

That's it in a nutshell. This book does a pretty good job of introducing circuit theory in a manner that is very easy to understand. Each topic is broken up into a chapter. Most chapters are only a few pages long (I don't think any of the chapters are even 10 pages), and they do not go into depth.

It is aimed at students with no electronics knowlege, and with little mathematical knowlege. Though it does use some calculus, these equations are rare. 90% of the book is algebra-based.

I gave this book 4 stars because it assumes to little of the reader. While it is a college text, most high school kids that have taken any calculus could probably understand it with ease.

As an after-thought, if you are using this as a high school text, you'll probably enjoy it. It is a great text.
