Description
The eighth edition of Electronics: Principles and Applications is based on the same philosophy of previous editions. It continues to be written so that a student needs no prior knowledge of electrical theory and principles and at a level that allows students with limited math and reading skills can gain a clear understanding and the entry-level knowledge and skills for a wide range of occupations within electricity and electronics.
Features
Concise approach to electronics, with a practical approach throughout. Just enough theory is presented to support the practical applications students need for their careers.
Student learning is reinforced by Self-Tests included with each chapter sub-section; and by Summaries, Related Formulas, Review Questions & Problems and Critical Thinking Questions at the end of each chapter.
Popular features such as Learning Objectives, highlighted key terms, color-coded circuit components, and About Electronics have been retained and updated.
Experiments Manual for Electronics: Principles and Applications contains labs linked to the text, to help students gain hands-on experience to reinforce subject matter and develop troubleshooting skills.
The Online Learning Center contains classroom PowerPoint presentations for every chapter (for both students and instructors), and Instructor’s Manual, supplemental PowerPoint presentations, industry links for students, student quizzes, and more.

Charles A. Schuler received his Ed.D. from Texas A&M University in 1966, where he was an N.D.E.A. fellow. He has published many articles and seven textbooks in electricity and electronics, almost as many laboratory manuals, and another book that deals with ISO 9000. He taught electronics technology and electrical engineering technology at California University of Pennsylvania for 30 years. He is currently a full-time writer, as he continues his passion to make the difficult easy to understand.
