This latest edition of Vassos and Ewing's definitive volume on
practical electronics for today's laboratory scientists has been
revised, updated, and reorganized to reflect new discoveries in the
field as well as a new understanding of what professionals need.
The Fourth Edition features greatly expanded coverage of
microcomputers, reflecting their status as the ultimate electronic
components and their growing importance in lab work. The reader
benefits from a practical, user-friendly introduction to the
microcomputer as an electronic device, with coverage of essential
topics such as computer terms, architecture, buses, the Central
Processor Unit (CPU), memory, Read-Only Memory (ROM), and error
detection. Analog and Computer Electronics for Scientists, renamed
to reflect the book's change in emphasis from digital to computer
electronics, goes on to provide a solid grounding in computer
peripherals--from keyboards, hard disks, and various forms of mass
storage to displays, scanners, printers, and advanced laser
printers. Readers will gain a working knowledge of data
communications, including fiber optics technology and lab
interfacing, as well as computer networks--specifically wide area
networks and local area networks, network structures and
topologies, data links, and information management systems. The
Fourth Edition's troubleshooting section includes coverage on how
to test and upgrade computers and how to deal with destructive
viruses. The book also provides a glimpse into the future of
computer technology--what lies in store for computers that will be
characterized by miniaturization, intercommunication, and greater
speed, and operating convenience. The Fourth Edition retains
itspatented treatment of circuits and schematics, operational
amplifiers, analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog conversion
devices, and regulated power supplies. Again, this current edition
provides access to a concise discussion of semiconductor theory,
which is included for those whose interest extends beyond the
practical. As in the earlier editions, Analog and Computer
Electronics for Scientists includes a separate section on lab
exercises that illustrate the various subjects in each chapter. All
of the equipment called for in these experiments is either standard
or easily obtainable. The new Fourth Edition has been restructured
to deemphasize phasors as well as Fourier and Laplace transforms
and Boolean algebra. These mathematical tools are now treated
briefly in a later section and are readily available, although they
can be skipped without any loss of overall understanding. Requiring
only a basic understanding of physics, calculus, and complex
variables, the Fourth Edition of Analog and Computer Electronics
for Scientists will be a major resource for all scientists who want
to increase their understanding of computers and sharpen their
practical skills without becoming bogged down in peripheral
material. The book will also prove useful to advanced undergraduate
and graduate students in chemistry, physics, and the life sciences.
