Title: Malvino Family Portrait
Post by: tubegeek on April 29, 2015, 07:06:25 AM
I went a little nuts. To be fair, these books were VERY cheap. 1 cent plus $3.99 for shipping was typical.

FYI: "Semiconductor Circuit Approximations 4th Ed." is the follow-up to "Transistor Circuit Approximations 3rd Ed." There are no editions 1, 2, 3 of SCA from what I can see and they share a family resemblance.

Between these and my spanking new Horowitz & Hill, I've got my summer beach reading all set. Just need to water- and sand-proof my calculator. :icon_twisted:

Again, thanks to all who recommended various Malvino titles: I do like his extremely thorough approach, and I like a book that leaves the impression that all the bases are covered (even if that's never really true.) At least there's no sense that A. P. is rushing things or skipping steps. As a teacher I like this approach - if I skip steps when I explain things I always pay for it!

My hat goes off to you.  so many people give up on doing really cool things just because they refuse to do a little reading.  by this time next year you're gonna be teaching everybody on this forum a thing or two!

I hope it's not "how to get the sand out of your calculator"  :icon_biggrin:
