The Art of Electronics Student Manual: Student Manual (Paperback) - Common

Re-purchased this book that I first purchased 20+ years ago to accompany the main volume. It is re-firing some of my older grey cells and inspiring me even in this age of credit card sized computers.

What a great book! A note to the seller: thanks for perfectly describing and photoing this item! It was perfect!!

It is a very good book.

I bought this thinking it would be offering the answers to all the exercises set in the "Art of Electronics" book. Although it does give some well worked out exercises it falls short of being the "answer book". It's worth purchasing if you're a student and want to see how one should work out an exercise. Otherwise, if you're a professional then you can easily pass it.

The Art of Electronics is an excellent guide to electronics but it is now hopelessly out of date. For this student manual this is even more of a problem: it's entire purpose is to set exercises to practice what the Art preaches: but it is so out of date that it is simply impossible to source the parts you need! Not worth buying unless you're a collector or simply are interested for historical or reasons of curiosity.

If you got your copy of the main text ("The Art of Electronics") - this is the perfect companion. Some of it is outdated (e.g. the 68008 labs) - but nevertheless a good intro into digital processing. The analog labs and examples are timeless. Can't wait for the 3.rd ed. of the main text, which is overdue!

Extremely useful book. I bought this as a required text for a college course. But you don't need a college degree to get a lot of mileage from this. The book starts with Ohm's law and resistors and takes you through the entire scope of electronics. By the end you'll be building computers from scratch. Special sections on high frequency circuits and low voltage devices. I commonly return to this text to refresh my knowledge and solve problems that arise at work. If you're interested in tinkering with electronics I highly recommend it. The concrete example circuits are helpful, as are the examples of common mistakes.

Ingénieur électronicien et enseignant, un collègue m'avait recommandé cet ouvrage. Certes la couverture n'est pas attirante, la reliure façon rapport de stage désuète, le contenu en Anglais ... peuvent en rebuter certains, mais cela ne suffit pas à détrôner ce livre que je trouve le meilleur que je n'ai jamais eu entre mes mains. Enfin des explications du pourquoi du comment! de ce que l'on vous enseigne tels quels parce que c'est comme çà! Avec lui vous comprenez tout et c'est très bien expliqué et extrêmement fouillé! Ce livre permet de rentrer au coeur de l'électronique analogique classique, transistors , montages à aop... la partie numérique est quand a elle dépassée. J'ai aussi le second volume que j'ai acheté traduit en Français et pourtant j'avais été prévenu: Elle est pitoyable! Il est probable que le traducteur n'ait jamais fait d'électronique tant il faut réinterpréter ce qui est écrit. Je pense d’ailleurs revendre le volume en Français pour celui en Anglais!

Quality of this book is sub-par. The pages are so thin you can see the print on the opposite side of the page. Printed in India and half the price of any other Art of Electronics books makes me wonder if this is even a legal copy.

I wish this would have been the text book when I was in college! You can actually sit and read it for pleasure and after 40 years in electronics I haven't found many like that. Expensive but quality is and it is well worth it.
