Review for Practical Electronics for Inventors

Mr. Paul Sherz has written the best Electronic book around that is well suited for those who are just starting out to learn as beginners. 

I often use it as a great reference especially when somebody wants to ask me to teach them the basics of electronics. 

You might be thinking that I am a teacher or instructor of this field, if you are then you are wrong. I am simply a person with a reputable electronics background.

With such reputation, many people especially friends and students are coming after me to explain things to them in a much simpler and understandable manner. 

Actually, the trick is within this book. All contents found on this book are well written by the author ensuring that beginners will most likely be able to understand.

Theories and histories are also covered by the book which does bore me a lot. 

But for students, it is important for you to know them because your teachers or instructors will surely be giving them on your exams. 

For those people who taking electronics as their interest or hobby then you can skip them and you will still learn a lot from this book.

What I like most about this book is that it offers plenty of illustrations and graphs. This offers great help especially for those who need to see something before they can fully understand what is being discussed.

Lastly, Electronics involves mathematics or calculations so if you hate numbers then you better look for another hobby or field of study. 

On this book, calculations and formulas has been clearly explained. It was well derived to guide you on how to apply them from one situation to the next.

Overall, I highly recommend Practical Electronics for Inventors especially to all beginners.
