Teach Yourself Electronics is a first introduction to electronics. It explains simply and clearly the essentials of modern electronics - how electronic devices and circuits work and how they are used in computer, communications and control systems.

It begins by considering the fundamental concepts and general principles of electronics. It then describes the functions of devices such as resistors, capacitators, diodes, transistors and integrated circuits. The more complex principles of logic gates and Boolean algebra are clearly explained. Finally, the practical applications of electronics in instrumentation, control and telecommunications systems are described.

The book's clear, lucid style and illustrations make it the ideal introduction for GCSE students and those following BTEC courses as well as the general reader seeking a basic understanding and background knowledge of electronics today.
