Electronics is an exciting field of study. Everything you touch nowadays from computers to your dishwasher depend on proper operation of a complex array of electronics. Lessons in Electrical Circuits is a modern six volume course that will teach you everything there is to know about electronics and circuits. Also included on this CD is 100s of companion worksheets and exercises to help you better understand the course materials plus a bonus book - Lessons in Industrial Instrumentation Textbook (3200 pages) - which will teach you everything you want to know about all the equipment electrical experimenters use in their every day explorations.
