Theory, Education & Reference

_Important Notice - Please Read

Updated 2023-12-11

This section is reference material and textbooks. Some of this material is quite old but in most cases the fundamentals still apply and have not changed much. Perhaps, for a student who is failing to grasp basic principles, being briefed in a different way is all they need to come to a greater understanding of concepts that are eluding them. 


Do note that there are textbooks referred to in a links document that are indicated in the files as being copyrighted material. However they have all been found on free sites all over the internet which implies the copyright holder has abandoned them. Some are from known defunct publishers and it is unknown by this site administrator if anyone now owns the current rights to them. As it is not the intention of this site to deprive anyone of revenue from any sites requiring payment for material, none of the material on this site was downloaded from any site that charges anything for downloading. Not even anything as basic as registering. 

If you are a copyright holder for any of these links and object to them being here, please indicate such in an email to me chuckles951@yahoo.com and they will be removed as soon as possible. But you should also be nagging the people who originally posted them. Most of these were scoured from the free downloads available at archive.org.

Magazine articles were extracted from older editions of magazines available from free web sites such as archive.org then sorted for the convenience of the electronics community.
