Suggestion: Electrical engineering

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around recommendations for books in various areas of electrical engineering, including analog circuit design, RF circuits, microelectronics, power electronics, and signals and systems. Participants emphasize that while they can suggest several titles, the complexity of these subjects means that most recommended books are lengthy and not necessarily "short and to the point." A notable suggestion is "Modern Control Engineering" by Ogata, which is comprehensive but nearly 1000 pages long. Another frequently mentioned title is "The Art of Electronics" by Horowitz, praised for its broad coverage of EE topics, though it may lack the depth of a specialized textbook. The conversation highlights the challenge of finding concise resources in such intricate fields.

Does anyone have a good suggestion for books in Electrical engineering, specifically:

- Analog Circuits Design and Analysis
- RF circuits
- Microelectronics and Device physics
- Power Electronics
- Signals and Systems; Feedback and control theory for Electrical Engineering.

Something short and to the point would be very appreciated (I don't have much time)

Thank you.

You are short on time, but want a good book to read about very complex and rich aspects of EE? Those aren't particularly compatible. Perhaps you could define "short and to the point" ?

Agree.

I could recommend a number of books in those areas, but none would fit my definition of short and to the point. Those subjects are complex enough that even a book that gets to the point via some minimization constraints, will still not be short. Or, if it did, it would be short and to-the-point and incomprehensible to anyone who is not already an expert.

Well, enough yapping ... one suggestion for Systems and Control theory (which is not short, at just under 1000 pages) is "Modern Control Engineering" by Ogata. If such lengths are short enough, I can recommend other books.
 
Art of Electronics by Horowitz is good, very all-encompassing with regards to EE topics but not sure it goes into sufficient deph on anyone area like a textbook would.

I second that one. I intended to mention that along with others, if the OP gave us more guidance on what "short and to the point" means. That one is over 1100 pages.

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!
This is part 2 of my thread Collection of Free Online Math Books and Lecture Notes Here, we will consider physics and mathematical methods for physics resources. Now, this is a work in progress. Please feel free comment regarding items you want to be included, or if a link is broken etc. Note: I will not post links to other collections, each link will point you to a single item. :book:📚📒 [FONT=trebuchet ms]Introductory college/university physics College Physics, Openstax...
