Synopsis

Electronics for Scientists provides comprehensive coverage of a vital part of modern science courses. This book will give students and experimentalists a thorough knowledge of the concepts involved and their applications to practical situations. The text is graded into three parts, and is illustrated with line diagrams, plots from circuit simulators and photographs from oscilloscope traces. Part One assumes very little prior knowledge of electronics and provides a foundation for the book. Recognising that in the fast-moving electronic instrumentation industry, most instruments have a market lifetime of only a few years, in Parts 2 and 3, descriptions of specific circuits are deliberately avoided. Instead the 'electronic building blocks' approach is adopted, so that any instrument, old or brand new, can be analysed on a functional basis. Electronics for Scientists will be essential reading for all undergraduate science students and experimentalists using commercially available electroni

About this title

From the Back Cover

Helps scientists and students quickly understand the technologies, physics, and practical issues surrounding today's most important electronic instrumentation.With the increasing complexity of modern electronic instruments, beginners are faced with the difficult task of scanning volumes in order to find material that is relevant to their courses. This book's functional approach serves as a link between high-powered technology and fundamental physical principles. The book identifies physical principles essential to understanding the use of electronic instrumentation, and wherever possible, illustrates them with practical demonstrations.Scientists, researchers, engineers, and students of science.
