3 Text

Required
A.R. Hambley, “Electronics, 2nd ed.,” Prentice Hall
Required
J.W. Nilsson and S. Riedel, “Electric Circuits & P-spice Manual, 8th edition”
Recommended
A.S. Sedra and K.C. Smith, “Microelectronic Circuits”, 5th edition (This is the text for EE3115; it is packaged with a CD and a useful problem supplement. It is a wonderful book which I highly recommend. It is more comprehensive than Hambley’s text but otherwise at about the same level. There is also a paperback version and both can be found used.)
