[Elecraft] Fred's vs Elecraft manuals de KE7X

[hawley, charles j jr]

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.

I found learning electronics challenging because our texts started with math and the useful properties of this or that circuit kind of fell out as a side effect or mini-miracle.  Then I discovered the text 'The Art of Electronics' which approached it from a different angle and things clicked much more naturally for me.
