About the Author Dr. Martin Plonus
avoid this text DAH I have a BS in EE, pursuing a teaching degree in Physics. This text is being used for a Physics undergrad course in Electronics. It has several typographical errors in both the text and end of chapter problems in the first two chapters. In addition, the explanations are dense and unhelpful, and the derivations skip steps without explanation. This text should not be used; there must be several better written texts, even if you need to delve into those meant strictly for E. "avoid" according to Frank B.. Had Martin Plonus spent more time proofing his text he would not have wasted so much of mine. My class found errors in the abbreviated derivations, examples, homework problems, and even one conceptual error. This book has far too many errors to be of much quantitative use. I would wait for a corrected edition to become available or simply use another text.. "This is one of the worst textbooks I have ever encountered" according to Thomas W Brewer. This is one of the worst textbooks I have ever encountered. Explanations are verbose and unclear. Errors abound. Stay away from this travesty.
