Digest Number 980/ Art of Electronics

I concur. If anyone on this list has the opportunity to take courses at
Harvard (through the extension school or because they are an undergrad or
grad student) I would highly recommend Physics 123, which is the
electronics course that Paul Horowitz and Tom Hayes teach (Paul is one of
the authors of the Art of Electronics, Tom and Paul wrote the student
manual). I just had the good fortune of taking their course this fall - a
real time sink, but worth every minute (so much for getting the thesis
defended by Christmas...). Great teachers, both.
As the semester went on, I found out that the student manual was very
helpful for understanding the material, specifically the "worked examples"
are great for uncovering details of how to design specific circuits.
Paul is also working on a 3rd edition of the book and they revamped many
of the labs this year (using the 8051 not the 68008). I haven't asked when
he is thinking they might be done with it.
