Product Description
This manual is both a guide and aid to users of The Art of Electronics. It is carefully organized to follow the chapters of the main text, providing extra explanatory notes, worked examples, solutions to selected exercises and laboratory exercises. Learning aids such as glossaries, reading assignments, objectives, data sheets and summaries are also included. The manual is a product of many years' teaching at Harvard University, which has given the authors direct knowledge of concepts that students find difficult. The extra explanatory detail makes this manual an essential purchase for students using The Art of Electronics.

 Fabulous November 7, 2008
Encyclopedic coverage, clear explanations. Especially good for analog electronics. Among beginners, all but the brightest will be overwhelmed and perplexed. This is the book you need to help you advance from "good" to "top notch".
My experience is that of a theoretical physicist who likes to tinker. I have the first edition, purchased about 1980, after I had already designed my own low noise, low quiescent current, rail-to-rail power op-amp (at a time when they were not commercially available at anything resembling a reasonable price). I certainly wish I had encountered this wonderful book even sooner.
 Not for Beginners October 29, 2008
You can reasonably assume from the price of this volume alone it is not something for beginning electronic circuit design enthusiasts.
Thankfully I had a couple of semesters of electronic theory and circuit design before my wife purchased "The Art of Electronics" as a gift. If not I would have been way over my head. For those with a basic grounding (no pun) in electronics you really can't go wrong with this book however I would suggest an additional purchase of the "Student Manual for The Art of Electronics."
THE book on electronics September 30, 2008
An excellent text and an excellent reference. Clear enough for the novice and in-depth enough for the experienced.
Possibly the greatest Electronics book ever September 29, 2008
It is amazing to see a book remained singularly as the most useful on electronics which has seen its most rapid evolution in recent decades. This book does not exhaust its wisdom even as you gain experience. It is a joy to read even after my first encounter fifteen years ago. Actually I enjoy it more than ever. From time to time, I'll pick up a neat circuit technique that did not get my attention previously.
 NOT a Beginners Guide to Electronics July 24, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I've always been particularly fascinated by electronics, circuits, and the whole realm in general, and I bought this book with the hopes of expanding that interest into a constructive hobby.
I have had basic experience with electronics in the past, and taken classes in Differential Equations, Calc 1-3, Linear Algebra, Physics, even some intro Electrical/Computer Engineering courses (all a long time ago though), but WOWee is this book complicated. It's 1300 pages and EVERY SINGLE PARAGRAPH is filled with mind crushing complexity.
Maybe it's all just above me, but from a complete beginners standpoint, this was far too difficult a first step.
I'll try to forge ahead (the author says don't get discouraged by the complex Math), but I have a feeling I will understand less and less the more I read.
