Grob’s Basic Electronics is written for the beginning student pursuing a technical degree in Electronics Technology. This longtime best-selling text has been refined, updated and made more student friendly. The focus on absolutely essential knowledge for technicians, and focus on real-world applications of these basic concepts makes it ideal for today’s technology students. In covering the fundamentals of electricity and electronics, this text focuses on essential topics for the technician, and the all-important development of testing and troubleshooting skills. This highly practical approach combines clear, carefully-laid-out explanations of key topics with good, worked-out examples and problems to solve. Review problems that follow each section reinforce the material just completed, making this a very student-friendly text. It is a thoroughly accessible introduction to basic DC and AC circuits and electronic devices.
McGraw-Hill’s Connect, is also available as an optional, add on item. Connect is the only integrated learning system that empowers students by continuously adapting to deliver precisely what they need, when they need it, how they need it, so that class time is more effective. Connect allows the professor to assign homework, quizzes, and tests easily and automatically grades and records the scores of the student’s work. Problems are randomized to prevent sharing of answers an may also have a “multi-step solution” which helps move the students’ learning along if they experience difficulty.

Hardback. A bit heavy. Brand new. Great price. Cheaper than the college book store. Perfect for my class. Buying the lab book next. Worth it. Book is very in depth.

I was a bit surprised by how good so far this book is. I usually don’t like textbooks, but this one is actually really effective. It teaches you by assuming you don’t know any electronics, but it helps guide you through every step. 10/10

this is not a college level textbook, but t’s a pretty good book. I had E3 of Grob’s original, and this is quite different so don’t expect that form it if you’re familiar with that era. The presentation is excellent if you are just starting out and want some extra information about various aspects of electronics and electrical history. I use this book as one of a handful of references. The AC circuits and AC power chapters are especially interesting, covering a LOT of useful ground in a fairly short time (high efficiency!)
