The field of Electronics already has numerous textbooks, prompting the question of why another one is necessary. In reality, authors often write books because they identify gaps in existing works and believe they can present the content in a more effective manner. This book is a response to such a need. It offers a unique approach to conveying Electronics concepts with hands-on task through circuit simulations, setting it apart from other textbooks in terms of content and presentation style.

The book Electronics: Principles, Concepts and Practices follows a bottom-up approach to teaching Electronics, beginning with an introduction to semiconductor physics, followed by semiconductor devices and modeling, circuit analysis, circuit design with semiconductor devices, and concluding with an introduction to trends in Electronics. It is divided into four parts: Part I, Part II, Part III, and Part IV. The fundamental idea behind this book is to address a wide range of topics in a simplified manner, emphasizing the interactions between physics, devices, and circuits in modern Electronics. In addition, free lecture slides are made available for download.

This book intentionally avoids delving into unnecessary theoretical baggage. Instead, it focuses on building the fundamental concepts required for a thorough understanding of circuits, introducing only the necessary basic mathematical concepts. This approach makes the book highly suitable for introductory-level teaching of Electronics in all institutions. The text integrates LTSpice and MATLAB into the course syllabus for Electronics, allowing forself-directed learning and reaping the benefits of learning through mistakes. Simulation tasks are included at the end of each part to reinforce the concepts learned in preceding chapters. These tasks are designed to challenge students without trivializing the development or application of intuition, which is crucial for an engineering career. Students are encouraged to explore "what-if" scenarios in the simulation tasks, while graphical outputs further enhance their understanding of mathematical derivations and assumptions.

In conclusion, this book fills the gaps identified in existing Electronics textbooks by offering a unique approach that utilizes circuit simulations. Its structure, emphasis on fundamentals, and integration of simulation tools make it a valuable resource for introductory-level teaching. By focusing on practical comprehension and providing opportunities for self-directed learning, this book aims to equip students with a solid foundation in Electronics
