Format:Paperback
As a university student I clang onto this book throughout my Electronic Engineering degree. Hughes has magnificently described in a simple and understandable manner what it means to be a circuit.
The succession of the chapters makes it even easier to comprehend the value of the book as it analyses step-by-step all the significant electronic and electrical processes involved in successful circuit development.
I would highly recommend to individuals starting afresh in Electronic Engineering, university students and professionals as well.
