Transistors: A Self Instructional Programed Manual

"Written by specialists in the field of transistors who are also trained programers, this unique book guides the reader at his individual pace in small, progressive steps to full knowledge of the subject. Developed by a small group of engineers and training specialists at Federal Electric Corporation, this highly successful programed course was used to train hundreds of electronics technicials. The text is divided into seven Parts devoted to major subjects which, in turn, are made up of Sets. Each Set constitutes the minimum recommended amount of work for one learning period and contains one major idea or circuit description. The Sets are composed of Frames, which are the working parts of the course, containing minute bits of information. An introduction to the basic principles of physics is followed by an explanation of transistor theory and circuitry. This provides a foundation for application of this knowledge to logic and switching circuits---the basis of all digital computers. OUTSTANDING FEATURES: * Simple, clearly written, programed text-extremely easy to follow * Completely self-contained --- no extraneous reference material needed * Suitable for beginners as well as affording quick review for those with some knowledge of the subject * Adapted to individual reader's rate of learning * Thoroughly tested by more than 300 technicians and engineers * Special treatment of computer circuits using transistors and diodes."
