Introduction to Electronics

Abstract

Only a few years ago, you would not have found the study of ‘electronics’ on the curriculum of any university or college. The subject was not considered important enough to be given a category of its own, and was studied as a rather specialist branch of electricity. Today, this relatively new branch of technology has made an impact on almost every aspect of our lives. Electronics has made possible a range of inventions, from televisions to spacecraft. Many of these inventions—or the effects of them—have revolutionised the way we live.
