There is a good book from Audio Precision "Audio Measurement Handbook" I think you can download it from their website

I found an interesting, old, forgotten book at my university library today.

Electrical Network Theory by Norman Balabanian and Theodore Bickart, 1969.

Wonder if anyone here had it in school some decades ago?
Lots and lots of linear algebra

I own it, great book, not for beginners..... They have a great chapter on graph theory, not for the faint hearted. From an electric circuits theory perspective, in a difficulty scale from 0-10, this book is probably an 8.

 

[5v333]

definitely not for beginners

Books on mathematics was mentioned before.

Linear algebra and its applications, D. Lay.
This is a broad introduktion to lin alg with lots of examples in many fields from electronics to programing.
Lots of exercises with solutions.
If you want to go down in the analysing/computational parts of electronics then lin alg is a great tool.

Ive been searching theese last weeks for a lin alg book to invest in for more abstract stuff. And I think i found another classic.
Algebra, M. Artin.
Most books in this level is quite dry and just filled with theorems and proofs. This one has quite a lot of explaining aswell.

I have a better alternative, simpler and more useful for electronics: Differential Equations and Linear Algebra by Gilbert Strang, plus, you can also watch the video lectures for free: Differential Equations and Linear Algebra - OCW

I think that second link for the videos is broken, I do not see a URL when I hover the cursor over, and no result when clicking.

You are right, just fixed it, thank you!

This is a huge database with Dutch but also many English books, magazines and scematics; NVHR database. If you leave all the field clear and click on " zoeken " under the blue text ( not the red ) you get all the books. " trefwoord " means keyword to search for a book or something else.

 

[sahib]

Thank you for that. You have a goldmine of a database.

 

[Rattakat]

Thank you Sahib, It is not me but the website. They put some serious work in digitalizing all those books. For me as a beginner in electronics it is indeed a goldmine because i can find books to learn at my very beginning stage. And for you more experienced guys, i'm sure there is still a lot to learn

 

[sahib]

Indeed, great efforts.

I did not realise that Elektuur went as far back as 1965. I think the English edition, Elektor, was introduced in 1975. My first step into electronics was through Elektor in mid '70s.

Great database, the vast majority of books are out of print and obviously too old to be a problem, but there are a few recent books like "The Mastering Engineer's Handbook" from 2008. Perhaps those are opensource?

Nice!

First of all, happy new year!

You have a strong point Dualflip. If a moderator thinks this is not right, there is a knob to remove my link or post. From my part i go email the site with this question. It is a clear question. Is this database allowed?

This is the reply from the website;
Dear Leon,

I understand your problem, but all newer books come from the Internet, sometimes even from the publishers' own sites, so I don't expect any problems with copyrights.
The database has existed for several years and I have only had 1 message from a publisher requesting that 3 books no longer be placed online. It later turned out that these books are still being sold through Amazon.
If a question arises about copyright, the consequences will not be so severe. There will then be a request to delete the relevant document and if that is followed, there will be no further problem.
Closing the entire database therefore seems a bit too much to me.

Sincerely,

John Koster
Librarian NVHR

With this, i hope to clear out all questions whether this is legal or not.
