Discussion Character

  • Homework-related
  • Technical explanation

Main Points Raised

  • One participant requests book recommendations that include mathematical calculations relevant to electronics.
  • Another participant suggests "Basic Electronics" by Grob but notes it lacks many equations.
  • A different participant recommends "The Art of Electronics" without further details.
  • Another suggestion is "Foundations of Electrical Engineering, 2nd Edition" by J. R. Cogdell, which is described as a calculus-based introduction to circuits.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

There is no consensus on a single recommended textbook, as participants provide different suggestions, and some express concerns about the mathematical content of the recommended books.

Contextual Notes

Participants have not specified the depth of mathematical content in the suggested books, nor have they discussed the suitability of these texts for different learning styles or backgrounds.

Hello Everyone,
I am an under graduate PHYSICS student and this year I am going to take INTRODUCTORY course in electronics. Can you suggest me a book on this subjects. Since I am a physics student so the book should also contain mathematical calculations (most of books don't contain one). Calculations should be algebraic or (if needed calculus) in nature.
Yours help will be deeply appreciated.
Thank you for your attention.

Hi

since you are doing an introductory course I suggest you to go through the Basic elelctronics by Grob. but you won't find many equations there.

tyr to find a book be Sedra smith.


regards
 


Try a book titled "The art of electronics".
 


"Foundations of Electrical Engineering, 2nd Edition" by J. R. Cogdell. It's a calculus based introduction to circuits.
