Classical How can I better understand transistors and their various uses?

AI Thread Summary
Understanding bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) can be challenging, particularly regarding their functions as switches, amplifiers, and oscillators. Recommended resources for gaining a clearer understanding include Sedra and Smith's "Microelectronic Circuits," which provides a formal introduction, and Horowitz and Hill's "The Art of Electronics," known for its informal approach. Additionally, Millman's Electronics is suggested as a solid introductory text. These resources can help clarify the principles and applications of BJTs in electronics.

I am having troubles understanding the working of a bipolar junction transistor(and also its uses as switch, amplifier, oscillator etc.).

Can anyone recommend any good book or video explaining it?

Thread 'Ashcroft and Mermin: revised edition'

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!

Thread 'How is Jackson’s Electrodynamics taught during undergraduate?'

I’ve heard that in some countries (for example, Argentina), the curriculum is structured differently from the typical American program. In the U.S., students usually take a general physics course first, then move on to a textbook like Griffiths, and only encounter Jackson at the graduate level. In contrast, in those countries students go through a general physics course (such as Resnick-Halliday) and then proceed directly to Jackson. If the slower, more gradual approach is considered...
