Intro to Electronics 4E

I am using this book for a class. I have found it very useful for someone who has never been exposed to this material. It is a great text book and it doesn't assume that the reader knows very much. THings are broken down and illustrated profusely. Chapters are short and sweet, with lots of reader-exercises to drill and check material comprehension. Scotty/Sioux City

Good book however...

This book was nice and simple, not over stressing anything. However it has quite a few mistakes in the formulas(it is the 4th edition, It should have less than it does).Good book to learn from however.

Good for newbies

I feel that this is a good book for newbies. It teaches electronics from ground up. There were a few chapters that should have been placed else where in the book though. Other then that it was great!
