This book is designed to provide undergraduate physics majors and students of related sciences with a solid foundation in basic electronics and its applications in the physical sciences. While the number of science students pursuing careers that require the ability to design and build electronic circuits may be relatively small, the vast majority of students will use and rely on electronics in their studies and future careers. As scientists, they will need a fundamental understanding of electronics to comprehend the operation of electronic equipment, accurately interpret measurements, and appreciate the numerous connections between electronics and other areas of science. This book takes a broader perspective, focusing on electronics from the scientist's point of view, and is intended for students who are not planning to become electronics specialists but will nonetheless use electronics in their studies. It is written in a relatively informal style and includes numerous detailed examples and "outside the box" material, including ideas from quantum computing, to stimulate thought and creativity. Each chapter concludes with a selection of relevant exercises. The second edition of the book has been updated to clarify certain sections and add end-of-chapter problems. It also includes an additional chapter on quantum logic/computing.
