content: Dave,I think you've mixed bothtypesof textbooks into the bunch... at least from the USA perspective....Here in the U.S., Floyd is for community college (2-yr college, Associates degree, ASEE), and Boylestad is for 4-yr degree (BSEE, university). Not sure what other countries' college/univ. systems use. I do recall that exchange students from non-US countries noted Floyd-like textbooks from their country's BSEE coursework (i.e., less mathy).About Floyd ... there is a companion LAB Manual (author not Floyd: Berlin??) .Also, Floyd had other texts, like Principles of Electric Circuits and Digital Fundamentals (both excellent!!).

content: Textbook for beginners? Then all 4 is to complex and boring for a beginner. A book for beginners should be simple to understand based on practical circuitry and applications, a headphone amp, a EQ, a VCO, a Volt reg etc, etc with following measurements and explanations of the circuitry and component functions and operations etc they should build and solder while reading. Then AOE is then much better anyway. Most textbooks are written by academics who dont solder particularly the books on MCU whos often absolutely draconian booring some just plain copies of datasheets.Even a pile of oldhttps://www.nutsvolts.com/mags is more teaching then those 4 books!

content: Quote from: 13hm13 on December 11, 2019, 11:42:48 pmThat's a good point. Textbook usage can vary greatly between countries and even between universities within a single country. It's important to consider the target audience and level of the course when choosing a textbook.It's also great to hear that Floyd has other texts, like Principles of Electric Circuits and Digital Fundamentals, which have been well received. Having a companion lab manual can also be very beneficial for hands-on learning in electronics.Incorporating electronic textbooks into essay writing can provide a deeper understanding of the subject and help to support arguments and claims made in the essay. When writing an essay on electronics, it's important to use reputable and up-to-date sources to ensure accuracy and credibility. Incorporating information and insights from a variety of sources, including textbooks, research papers, and articles written by experts in the field, can provide a well-rounded perspective and help to strengthen the overall argument of the essay. You also can usehttps://happyessays.com/free-essays/letter-from-birmingham-jail/which is very useful for such things.Ultimately, the best electronics textbook will depend on individual needs and preferences, as well as the goals of the course. It's always helpful to get recommendations from others in the field and to consider reviews and ratings of the books in question.
