That’s a great book, “The Art of Electronics”. Horowitz and Hill, Harvard and Rowland institute for Science. Interesting about the math. I learned the math, though, in EE courses and found that to be a plus. Math with an application. Seemed like I was always taking the math course after I learned the math the semester before in an EE course. Anyway, I bought the book when I was already on the job and it was a great source of ideas and understanding. Chuck KE9UW
