@@noahmcdonald686 well said

Is there any pre requisite or first timer will understand most concepts?

@@dark_lord98 There is no pre requisites though but the book isnt complete to grasp every concept clearly. You need some extensions, other books but you should definitely watch some video tutorials to grasp the concept more accurately. ru-vid.com?search_query=all+about+electronics www.youtube.com/@FoolishEngineer Read the book and watch the tuts side by side.

@@dark_lord98 It is self contained. You will only need to look elsewhere if you want to derive expressions found in the book, since the book only presents the formulas.

What do you mean by "electronics literature"?

@@invent0r137 Academics Research paper publisher who doesn't have any hand on experience on hardware design

My parents introduced me to electronics and medical kits and biology and chemistry very early on

Dude most people hate science and math. Teach us something useful in the world not algebra and physics is what most say during basic trig or science class in middle and high school, And you think without math and physics we can understand electronics lol. People who like these things are still in the minority.

​@potato-yx5te u r right

There are too many reasons! The easy guess, 1) not all ppl want others to be smarter than them and, in general, 2) not all ppl are familiar with knowledge, unless they have grown and became savvy. My dad lack all the knowledge I have got now (which is NOT a great thing) but he led me to achieve all the stuff, the means, studies and experiences he facilitated, because he was smart, yet not well-educated (since grandma also lacked university degree, as millions who grew from poverty and other limitations). Most ppl work to get food, housing and clothing (we're all compelled to that) but the 2nd generation has always being blessed with the HARD job of their predecessors, and FEW are thankful for the means God has given all us.

Awesome

Glad you added "to others" at the end, or else...

EE one of the hardest and stressful. But good luck

How do I get this book?

Where should I look, will try google and Ebay.

@@DennisMurphey Did you find it?

@@superguitar6355 maritime.org/doc/neets/mod01.pdf

@@undernetjack I think it is quite bad. I had a student who took it about a decade ago, and was conceptually lost. It is weirdly superficial and dogmatic, more about repair than creation.

Also, out of date. If you are using big analog circuits, quit and use a board computer like an RPi or ESP32. If you want to design custom chips, you will need considerable training time or AI. I’d outsource it. For medium sized projects the design software will optimize for price and power consumption better than most humans.

You'll enjoy yourself! I gave up many of the paper books of electronic I had. Now I will have new ones, online.

Oh thanks for the tip about the radio book

Well whether its music, electronics, or aviation its all centered around physics. So while I have background in many different areas they all have the same center.

Got a link or cover Pic?

@@Leandro_ yes good catch!

That book is excellent and one of my favorite. Microelectronics by Beaman is another one, a bit classic though.

I have AoE in all possible editions, that's all you need :)

@@iz8dwf Is AoE exhaustive? It doesn't contain chapter on ICs, and SoCs currently used in market.

@@kumardigvijaymishra5945 Yes, it contains chapters on computers, IC's and microcontrollers. I haven't seen SoC's, though.

Ach I thought you wrote 'nudes'! What a disappointment, I want my money back!

I have pdf, if you need let me know

Hey, im in a bit of a dilema. Would you say its okay to download those free pdfs? I would buy physycial copy but i dont live in the USA, and I don't have resources to buy the e book version. I was thinking about contacting authors. Would you say it is okay to download the free version. I do really feel bad and like im stealing someone's hard work so I'd like to hear your and possibly other people's opinion.

@@turnoff7572 One of the beauties of the internet is you can learn anything you want for free most of the time, if you can find it. It's better to support the authors obviously, but if you're limited on resources, learn for free and then go make the world a better place to pay it back.

@@turnoff7572 where are you from?

​@@turnoff7572download the pdf, buy the book if you ever get a chance, better than not reading it at all

​@@turnoff7572 Just downloaded the pdf you're not robbing anyone

which book is that?

He uses it as a reference book, because it contains both electronic examples & physics explanations.

Glad to hear that, just purchased it to brush up. I worked as a marine electronics technician after doing a radio mechanic apprenticeship back in the 80’s, now i want to get back into it for a hobby. It’s taking some time to build my workshop, and so far the book looks good. Probably all I need for now, also have books on raspberry pi and python, can’t get into electronics these days without microcomputer and python knowledge.

@@caferockgarito3310 it's glue

Oh ok no worries then 😅

Same regarding math and algebra. I could do the work but I just never 'got' it. I couldn't hold onto it because for some reason my brain needs to map it visually and correlate it to something to make stick. I never could find the something, I guess.

Same. I have owned the third edition of this book for years, but I barely touched it as the mathematics was beyond me. I've been slowly brushing up on my maths with the likes of Khan Academy and Brilliant, but at heart I'm just an idiot who aspires to be a savant. 😁

​​@@rfphillMe too. As I mentioned to OP I've been trying to brush up on my maths online, I recommend it. My problem is I may learn something and finally get that 'lightbulb moment', only to come back to it not long after and find I've already forgotten it. I think the trick is to grasp the concept, move on and only aspire to truly memorise the stuff that we actually intend on applying. If I figure out calculus then great, but I'm pretty sure it's possible to get an understanding for amplifier circuits without it. At this stage of life I don't plan on carving out a path as an electronics engineer, just enough knowledge to tinker and (at least somewhat) know what I'm doing.

What path did you take to become a professional inventor? Do you have any good book recommendations?

@@louvoodoo Unusual. I was to be an academic and did a double PhD program in computational neuroscience and philosophy. I do scientific philosophy. Since childhood I also had many invention ideas. And as I learned more science several a week. List is about 1,500 (some duplications, some invented by others). As an academic I did scientific philosophy with practical applications including font enhancing techniques (used by Apple, I did not patent) and in 2000 a version of Uber for the city of San Diego. Then I developed two health problems including a rare, deadly heart disease and had to leave ABD with a CPhil. I was sick for a decade. And inventing turned out to be best path. And I had some luck with an early patent, but bad luck before I got a better grasp of the system. I avoid VCs and know a lot of science as neuroscience attracts polymaths because it requires lots of science to explore brain. So my physicist, biology, computer science including of course AI is strong, chemistry passable, applied math good (and really most of what I do). Read: Patent it Yourself Read many patents in your area Understand claims and write claims first then the specification. Use AI to augment powers. Beware of anything that is manufactured. If not already basically just a matter of assembly you need $2m. Patent writing is hard. I would now advise people to become patent agents and take the exam. The poor and middle class have no money. Focus on B2B and luxury. Be paranoid. But still tak to other inventors. Learn drop shipping. Read licensing contracts. Study semiotics and influence or sales books. Cialdini is the best. Then Heath brothers. Understand everything yourself. Eventually delegate. But this is hard. No one is better than me so far at key stuff. Learn to ramify an invention. This takes most of the creative time, often first use idea is not most profitable. Finally Edison is wrong in turns of time, it is worse than he said,O.1% inspiration and 99.9% perspiration. Don’t let VCs tell you this Edison ratio reflects the value of the two acts. Good luck, and don’t quit your day job.

@@louvoodoo I gave a lengthy reply and YT seems to have deleted it. Not sure how I could have violated a rule.

@@JJ-fr2ki I am so sorry that they deleted it. I have electronics and mechanical engineering background, I just need to figure out a good idea to bring to life

@@louvoodoo It’s crazy and irritating. It was detailed for a phone typed bit and I wanted to send it to my nephew. Read the Nolo Book Patent It Yourself. Note manufacturing rather than assembling from existing parts catalogs via dropshipping companies for anything electromechanical is >$2m. Be market oriented. B2B and luxury have much more money than other classes. Demos important now. Provisional Patent often (only $70). Search well eventhough hard on the heart. And learn to ramify. Use AI as much as possible to save time. Writing patents is difficult. Use lawyer for claims until very confident. I’d also now recommend the Patent Agent Exam, because I think AIs will clog the system. Beware of Alice if patenting software.

I'm a newbie and you are right - this book is more digestible for us newbies. Both are great though.

@@scottfoulk7480 They are! Another book i recommend if you are really new is forrest mims getting started with electronics. Back to the AOE, the good thing about the art of electronics is that it comes with a hands-on lab book as well as the main book. The hands-on lab course is especially helpful and goes over more topics than any other lab course book I have seen. In my opinion, I think the hands-on lab course will be where 80% of your understanding will come from. A good portion of the labs can be done if you buy an all in one tool from analog devices called AD2. The AD2 is multiple lab tools (oscilloscope, signal generator, logic analyzer, multimeter etc) built into one. It has its limitations of course but it performs well and can be a great place to start (especially if the typical lab bench tools are out of your price budget). Another big plus I see in the AOE is their recommendation for parts like transistors, PLL, VCO, dc-dc converters and so on. The recommendations are so numerous that if you needed a part for almost any application, they probably list it in the chapter that describes the theory for that part (i.e a transistor if you are studying transistors). This saves so much time in searching through the internet and going through dozens of data sheets. circuits Text books don't normally list components that are in the market. they cover the theory but they don't really talk about the components by their parts numbers and specs per se.

Thank you for you're contribution

@@chillipaste2183 At least your HONEST; sarcastic all-in-one...

​@@d.e.c1609Thank you. Honesty and transparency is a character streak we all need to live by. Thank you for giving me a will to live.

STEP 1: LISTEN TO THEIR PROBLEM STEP 2: DO NOT TELL THEM THE SOLUTION ON THE PHONE STEP 3: MAKE SOLUTION ON YOUR OWN TIME STEP 4: PATENT IT STEP 5: SELL YOUR INVENTION TO THEM OR WHATEVER INDUSTRY THEY WORK FOR

Something similar happens to me when helping with repairs for people near me. I don't know how to sell me (service) properly and end up solving everything for free.

😔

Is there still for donations (this book) 😢 For a poor and unemployed man
