Electronic books used in college/university
robsims:
I think i will stick with Malvino and Bates Electronic Principles. Started reading their book. It has good guidelines and examples. No calculus, only simple practical equations and guidelines to get the job done. Another good book i think is "Electronic devices and circuit theory" 11th-edition from Robert Boylestad and Louis Nashelsky.

You can pick up some very useful books at secondhand bookshops associated with Universities, & they are usually quite "laid back" about people browsing.
Once or twice a year, many "Unis" have sales of "out of date" books which are still full of useful information.
Another possibility is picking up an older copy of the "ARRL Handbook" on line, or perhaps, at a Hamfest.
This book, along with the similar RSGB Manual, contain a lot of fundamentals, as well as quite advanced materials.
Malvino is a good book--- another one from the same era, is "Hughes", which concentrates more on Electric motors, generstors/alternators, 3ph circuitry, transformers, etc.

Disagree with ARRL handbook. Awful book. Someone really needs to rewrite all the tutorial stuff again.
All the units are in groats per dyne still.
RSGB one is useless. Mainly because it’s 80% cross references to out of date ARRL handbooks.

Can someone help me with a list of electronic books they use in college/university which i can download. I have "Electronic Principles" 8th edition from Albert Malvino and David Bates, but maybe there are better books which are easier to read and don't go too deep in theory with too much calculus. I don't have a problem with calculus, i'm a mechanical engineer, but the book must be a bit more practical. The Malvino and Bates book is good, but maybe there is something better.

Have you seen "Electronic Devices" by Thomas Floyd? I have the now-ancient third edition. It's fairly good for, say, small signal analysis of BJTs and FETs, and covers op-amps too. I think it's a bit more advanced than Malvino, though not hugely. It's reasonably light on calculus but not particularly practical, I'd say.

I think Floyd is excellent and one of the picks of the bunch.
