References

Numerous excellent introductory electronics books exist, and you are encouraged to refer to them often. Some selected titles are listed below, with Brock Library calling numbers shown where appropriate.

Other references such as manufacturers' data books and the equipment manuals should be consulted as needed. Photocopies of selected parts of some of the references are available in the lab, and other reference material can be obtained from the University Technical Services (see your instructor if you require access). You are encouraged to consult journals such as American Journal of Physics, Electronics, and Reviews of Scientific Instruments for further reading.
