AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on finding advanced electronic books that delve into circuit parameterization using differential equations, specifically for parallel RCL circuits. Users recommend "Electric Circuits" by Nilsson and Riedel as a foundational text, while others suggest "Electronic Devices" by Floyd and "Electronic Circuits" by Seely for their relevant content. A participant mentions successfully obtaining "Basic Engineering Circuit Analysis" by J. David Irwin and R. Mark Nelms, which met their needs. There is also a mention of difficulties in finding affordable PDF versions of textbooks, with some users sharing links to download resources. The conversation highlights the challenge of finding in-depth electronic literature that balances theory and practical application.

Does anyone know of any useful electronic books? I've gone through a lot of books and none have satisfied me. I'm not looking for a basic electronics book. I'm looking for a book that actually shows you how to parameterize a circuit with differential equations. Like how to find the current at each point for let's say a parallel RCL circuit. The only good book I have found is Practical Electronics for Inventors. It doesn't go in as much depth as I would like it too and he complains about the math involved frequently which is just stupid to write in an electronic book. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Andrew

I cut my teeth on "Electric Circuits" by Nilsson and Riedel. You can probably find it used (or an old edition) very cheap. The basics don't need to be up-to-date.

Thanks. I'm trying to find a PDF file but all the sites that had it uploaded had it taken down. The cheapest I'm seeing is around 100 dollars...I don't think I can afford that.
 
Two textbooks on my shelf, Electronic Devices by Floyd, and Electronic Circuits by Seely, each cover that kind of information. Floyd is newer, and is written for more novice students, but has very good examples that are easy to follow. My copy of Seely is copyright 1968, so it has a lot of tube theory, but it also covers transistors. Of course, the math is still relevant, and it is much more advanced than Floyd.

Get one of these. 7th edition. Even if you print out the PDF it is a lot easier to learn with a physical book, in my opinion.

And don't bother to learn about tubes. If you get a book with tubes in it, skip those sections. The number of jobs dealing with tubes is so small you could just learn about them at that point.

I ordered the book and got it yesterday. It is pretty much exactly everything I was looking for. Thank you so much.

J. David Irwin, R. Mark Nelms- Basic Engineering Circuit Analysis- (Wiley) is my choice. Go here to get pdf version -

http://gen.lib.rus.ec/

Search and download.

***In the mirrors list click on "free-books.us.to"
#It has many coloured pages so the size is a bit large (160 MB).

HI,

I am looking for the ''Physics of Quantom electronics vol.8 chap.5'' I could no where find this book or journal or the conference proceeding . does anybody have an Idea How can find
this ?
