Synopsis

Book by Storey Neil

A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

Electronics plays a central role in our everyday lives, being at the heart of much of today’s essential technology – from mobile phones to computers and from cars to power stations. As such, all engineers, scientists and technologists need a basic understanding of this area, whilst many will require a far greater knowledge of the subject. 

The fourth edition of Electronics: A Systems Approach is an outstanding introduction to this fast-moving, important field. Fully updated, it covers the latest changes and developments in the world of electronics. It continues to use Neil Storey’s well-respected systems approach, firstly by explaining the overall concepts to build students' confidence and understanding before looking at the more detailed analysis that follows. This allows the student to contextualise what the system is designed to achieve, before tackling the intricacies of the individual components. The book also offers an integrated treatment of analogue and digital electronics, highlighting and exploring the common ground between the two fields.

This fourth edition represents a significant update and a major expansion of previous material, and now provides a comprehensive introduction to basic electrical engineering circuits and components in addition to a detailed treatment of electronic systems. This extended coverage permits the book to be used as a stand-alone text for introductory courses in both Electronics and Electrical Engineering.

This new edition includes:

• A range of new chapters covering the basics of Electrical Circuits and Components
• An introduction to Resistive, Capacitive and Inductive elements, Alternating Voltages and Currents, and AC Power
• New chapters on the Frequency Characteristics of AC circuits and on Transient Behaviour
• A new consolidated treatment of Noise and Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
• A new chapter on the Internal Circuitry of Operational Amplifiers.

Throughout the book learning is reinforced by chapter objectives, end-of-chapter summaries, worked examples and exercises.

 Dr. Neil Storey is a member of the School of Engineering at the University of Warwick, where he has many years of experience in teaching electronics to undergraduate, post-graduate and professional engineers. He is also the author of Electrical and Electronic Systems and Safety-Critical Computer Systems, both published by Pearson Education.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Updated to take account of changes in this ever more important field, the second edition of this popular text provides an engaging and accessible introduction to the principles of electronics.

Its `systems-oriented' approach is now accepted as an illuminating and motivational method of addressing the subject. Overall concepts are explained first, supplying the reader with the confidence and understanding needed to tackle the more detailed analysis which follows. This book also offers an integrated treatment of analogue and digital electronics, highlighting and exploring the common ground between the two fields.

Throughout the book, learning is reinforced by chapter objectives, end of chapter summaries, worked examples, exercises and tips for further reading. Every chapter also includes a comprehensive design case study linking theory to everyday practice.

Electronics: A Systems Approach is intended for undergraduate and diploma students in all fields of engineering and science. For students of electronics it provides a coherent and comprehensive set of material suitable for introductory courses in analogue and digital design. For students of other disciplines it covers most of the electronics material they will need for their courses.
