Customer Reviews

Electronic devices

This book is really good on explaining the fundamentals of electronic devices while incorporating the math explanations. Sedra/Smith (Microelectronics) has a little more math but Floyd does a better job in showing real world applications. Lastly, I would recommend owning both Floyd and Sedra/Smith to get you battle ready for the world of electronics design.

Good book

I wish it had more detail on some of the subjects covered. More detailed exaples would be nice in its content, it would help drive iin the material. needs more examples.

Simple enough to understand

I have several college electronics text books. Compared to the others this one was basic enough for me to understand the bare basics. Only after using this book have I been able to use the more advanced books. I appreciate this book does not have the depth others have, but that is exactly why it helped me get started in electronics. I am self studying so I really needed the simplicity. I want to thank the author for inviting me into the fascinating world of electronics design.

Handled Cancellation Well

Needed to cancel the order after I was given incorrect information by my instructor. The cancellation was handled quickly with no difficulty.

Good practical guide to electronics

I am an instructor and find all of Floyd's books to be excellent...the problem is that many students like the ones in this forum are ill prepared in algebra, trig, basic calculus and just plain old problem solving, plus some don't read English well enough. Let's face it, a lot of [people] are trying to become technicians and engineers when they should be preparing themselves for fast food service.
