Product Description
Product Description
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars
A student's viewpoint,
By A Customer
This review is from: Electronics: A Systems Approach (Paperback)
A good introduction to electronics and systems - especially if you're lazy like us and want to pass exams with the minimum of effort! The layout of material is well thought out and is succinctly written so that it can be read cover to cover if you're really keen or just dipped into the night before the exam. Essential purchase for any budding electrical/electronics student.

3.5 stars- does not live up to its title,
By rickzz "rickzz" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Electronics: A Systems Approach (Paperback)
"Electronics: A Systems Approach" purports to teach electronics from a top-down vs. the standard bottom-up approach (i.e. starting from low-level semiconductor physics and working up to applications).
While it does start that way, Storey's book quickly becomes another conventional electronics textbook after ch 2 or so. (It also has a separate conventional section on digital electronics so it does not have an integrated approach in that regard despite statements to the contrary). This is a decent book but I'm disappointed that it did not live up to its own hype. I truly think that such a top-down book is needed, i.e. a book that starts from the high-level before working down to the specification level (datasheet level); before working down to the component and only then the transistor and semiconductor level. Instead most textbooks, including this one, drown you in detail that you'll only need if you're a mixed-signal IC chip designer. (Why spend so much time discussing transistor amplifiers when most engineers use op-amps?) What's really needed is a book that's useful for the typical engineer, who's mainly now a consumer of IC chips at the board-level and occasionally discrete-component level. Electronics textbooks are too general to be useful- a far better text for example would cover the system design (hardware, software and manufacturing) of something like a cellphone- explain cellular standards, and specifications first before working down to the component-level, etc.

Electronics: A Systems Approach (3rd Edition),
By P C M VD JAGT - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Electronics: A Systems Approach (Paperback)
Nice book, what I expected, but with one disappointing thing: there was no appendix about complex math. It was there in the previous editions. But in de the meantime there is already a fourth edition and I only found this out after the book arrived. So I have ordered also this 4th edtion.
