Product Description
Product Description
The fourth edition of this work provides optional computer analysis exercises in selected examples, troubleshooting selections and "Applications Assignments". It uses straigtforward explanations and limits mathematics to only what is needed for understanding electric circuits fundamentals and the type of electronic devices and applications students are likely to encounter on the job. The book provides coverage of measurement, with measurement instruments discussed in the chapter where their usage is introduced.
From the Back Cover
Students will discover success with Thomas L. Floyd's Fifth Edition of Electronics Fundamentals: Circuits, Devices, and Applications. Floyd continues the use of his hall mark pedagogical features and adds key new features and content changes, all complemented by a new and improved student-friendly text design and layout.
- Margin icons indicate text circuits that are rendered in Electronics Workbench™ and CircuitMaker® on the CD-ROM packaged with each text.
- New EWB/CircuitMaker Troubleshooting Problems.
- New Safety Notes indicate key information that students can transfer to their laboratory experience.
- Online study guide with 50+ questions per chapter is available at http://www.prenhall.com/floyd.
- New Hands-On Tip and Biography features.
- Expanded coverage of troubleshooting, electrical safety, engineering notation, and calculator usage.
- Reorganization of chapters improves the flexibility of the text. Capacitors (Chapter9) and RC circuits (Chapter 10) are covered in sequence, followed by inductors (Chapter 11), RL circuits (Chapter 12), and RLC circuits and resonance (Chapter 13). Transformers (Chapter 14) now follows RLC circuits and resonance.
- A new, easier-to-read text design and use of color help students locate key information for review.
- Chapter Objectives, an Introduction, Key Terms, and Application Assignments precede each chapter to offer students an overview of the applications they will be able to complete by chapter's end.
- Section Reviews follow each chapter section to reinforce concepts and check for understanding.
- Numerous in-chapter examples illustrate a variety of areas where concepts can be applied.
- End-of-chapter problems are separated by chapters section and level of difficulty, allowing students to progress with their problem-solving skills in a step-by-step manner.

Format:Hardcover
The book has everything about modern Electronic Systems, and is perfect for those of us who don't have a clue. The author often gives his own accounts and thoughts about the workings of a system, making it a witty and comfortable read for anyone who doesn't want to fall asleep while reading dry technical information! It's fun, clearly written and very easy to understand when you grasp the very basics of what he teaches you. It's a great book, and covers all kinds of categories, including motherboards, computers, digital and analogue systems, PIC programming, troubleshooting sections and has many 'test-yourself' questions at the end of each section topic. A very recommended buy.

This book needs more proofing.
15 Jan 1999
Format:Hardcover
I am currently using this book for an Electronics Course. In the first six chapters we have found many mistakes. Some of the questions in the review sections ask you to solve a circuitry problem but leave out vital information. Some of the answers in the back of the book are wrong. It was very disappointing considering the cost of the book.

I think its a Great Book
28 Dec 2001
Format:Paperback
I had engineering years ago, but no electronics. I bought the 4th edition of this book and used it for self-study. I think its a very good book. I thought the examples were good and I worked a lot of the problems. I dont't recall many mistakes in the text or the answers. I also thought the section on the oscilloscope was good. I did have to read some of the material over several times to understand it. Chapter 19 Amplifiers and Oscillators was the hardest material to me. There was some material in that chapter that I never could figure out. I learned a lot from this book!

I am an electronics student and this book is the best. Go ahead, buy this book, or better yet, enroll in RETS electronic school. This is the book they use. That alone should let you know how great this book really is. RETS is the best!!!!!!!
