I appreciate the tips, but I already have a giant pile of physics and math books. One of the worst things about studying physics is the quality of the texts. You soon learn to ignore the heinous books your professor's 350-verbal-SAT buddies wrote and lean on Schaum and other sources.
I still have Arfken, Morse and Feshbach, Goldstein, Whittaker and Watson, Liboff, Gradshteyn and Ryzhik, Goswami, Dirac, Lanczos, Fermi...you name it. Sadly I did not study electronics much, which explains why I am working on a library now.
The Problem Solver book I got is much better than the Schaum outline.
This stuff is coming back to me, thank God.
I am not lacking in practical application. I'm building one amp after another. The theory part is what I have to worry about right now. I'm never going to understand what the parts of the circuit do if all I do is solder and pray.

Re: Engineers Must Pay
Well, I'm mad again. Today I tried to do a problem involving a little picture of a little source labeled "0.6 v1," where "v1" was the voltage across a nearby resistor.
Turns out "0.6 v1" meant CURRENT.

Seems to me the text book you're using was written by a hallucinating assembler programmer....

Re: Engineers Must Pay
It's a pretty good description of my method so far.

Yes it is! (funny, and awesome)

Re: Engineers Must Pay
By the way, this is the GOOD book, not the one that was driving me crazy.
It's actually extremely useful. It's The Electric Circuits Problem Solver.
It's funny, the way I remember some things and forget others. For example, I haven't had any problems with integrals, but I screwed up when I tried to find an equation for a line between two points, which is pretty sad.

And the peltier cooler has a hot side.
And to renshen1957 ; I found walter pistons books harmony , and counterpoint much more readable.
