From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Robert Boylestad, was a Professor of Electrical and Computer Technology at Queensborough Community College of the City University of New York (CUNY). He is currently retired.

Engineering and science students around the western world will be familiar with the names Boylestad and Nashelsky. With his colleague Louis Nashelsky at Queensborough College, they were the authors of many fundamental publications on electronic devices and circuits.

Their seminal work "Electronic Devices and Circuit Theory" is a university level text that is currently in its 9th edition (2005) and which was initially published in 1972. While there are many other texts in the field, this one has remained a staple of scientific educators throughout the modern period of electronics and computer revolution, and during the emergence of ubiquitous Integrated Circuits and Computers.
