On learning mathmatics and electronics

jefm

Gang,
Can anyone recommend some good post-algebra math books to study? I was reading up on RCTIME and was humiliated that I could not calculate tau. I got through high school but never took math much further then a+b=c.

And for someone who's been messing with electronics since around six years of age, I know surprisingly little electrical theory. I hope to attack my old copy of Radio Shack's "Getting Started in Electronics" later this year, any other suggestions?

I'll never get accredited this way and should probably go back to school for this stuff, but my school days are long gone, and with the Internet as it is I don't think I'll have trouble finding help if I'm stuck on something.

Do a google search for "The Khan Academy" and "MIT Open Courseware". I think you'll find enough to keep you occupied for a long time.

In the area of electronics, the goal for a slacker is to learn enough to be able to use The Art of Electronics. If someone asked me what I knew about electronics, I would reply with Ohm's law. But actually I know enough to use The Art of Electronics, which is probably a bit more. It's amazing what you can do once you reach that point.
