Synopsis

This student-oriented text familiarizes undergraduates with the electronics involved in scientific instrumentation and control systems for use in research and end products. Suitable for the one- or two-semester courses, the text emphasizes electronics applications, rather than the physics or engineering of a device. This makes the material suitable for students who need a fundamental knowledge of electronics for the laboratory or workplace. Manufacturers' data sheets for nearly every common component are gathered in a convenient appendix, making learning and applications much easier and providing students with a valuable reference tool.

About this title

Synopsis

This student oriented text familiarizes undergraduates with the electronics involved in scientific instrumentation and control systems for use in research and end products. Suitable for one or two-semester courses, the material is balanced between mathematical and verbal descriptions, moving from a quantitative approach in early chapters to a more descriptive one. The third edition has been extensively updated to reflect state-of-the-art electronics. Emphasizes a focus on application of electronics, rather than on the physics or engineering of a device, makes the material suitable for students from across the sciences who need a fundamental knowledge of electronics for the laboratory or work place. Manufacturers' data sheets of nearly every common component are gathered in a convenient appendix, making learning and applications much easier and providing students with a valuable reference tool.
