Booklist Review
Plainly written and aimed at self-instruction in basic electronics, this handbook covers essential fundamentals of math, laboratory practice, electronic components, and AC and DC theory, with clear, simple illustrations. It includes a generous amount of drill materials, chapter exams, and two major section tests, answers for which are provided in the appendix. The approach is pragmatic and lends itself to an independent study project. The CAI (Computer-aided Instruction) component is a series of 17 programs written in Commodore Basic and designed to provide more drill exercises to graphically illustrate material found within the book. The listings of all the programs are in the appendix and can be keyed in; however, a disk with all the programs is available for an additional $24.95. A knowledgeable Basic programmer could use the source listings to develop similar programs for other computer systems, and it is quite possible to make full use of the material in the book without the programs, which are relatively unsophisticated in construction. The appendix also includes a listing of common electronic formulas and minimal glossaries of terms and schematic symbols. The text does best in its explanations of basic theory and operation of electronics and text equipment. Index. AK/CW.
