There is a publication that is a yang to this yin. Or do I have that backwards? I can never keep that stuff straight in my head.[View:/resized-image/__size/168x194/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-a6b018bc-899b-4f67-8ad8-6c0453fb8a74/contentimage_5F00_178192.jpg:168:194]

May as well threadjack. For those in the audience who are transitioning from algebra to calculus, I recommend:

Seems to get the ball rolling where many seem to get stuck for a bit. I got one for a friend yesterday that I am tutoring a little bit who is in college, but upon finding it out-of-print, I got ones for my grandkids for later. Good for autodidacts. Pamphlet-length.

Search around, don't pay more than ten bux for it.

I rarely pass up a chance to laud this book. The audacious scope of the book renders any minor criticisms I might have picayune.

The tone is one thing that sets this tome apart. This is not a cookbook. The authors ambit is to convey competence.

Even if one masters the material in this book, no mean feat, he will still need to read specialized stuff to be really ready to work on a given application. No general work is going to go into enough detail on things like 4-port matrices, T-lines or feedback control theory.

I would recommend anyone read this book. If you are new to this topic, reading this is the quickest way to learn your way out of the 'newby phase,' and become competent enough to read other material. If you are far down the path of e- knowledge, like the august posters in this thread, you will gain perspective and useful ideas and details worth far in excess of the cost of the book should you read it.

They (Horowitz and Hill) even write well.

This is good to hear, but only slightly ; ) because that date could be pushed out further. A new edition "next year" or "soon" has been stated for the past ten years or more.

I'll believe it in April if/when we see it ; )

The title says it all.

No, it doesn't ring a bell for me [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-a6b018bc-899b-4f67-8ad8-6c0453fb8a74/contentimage_5F00_4751.png:16:16] Sounds like I'm missing out on something!
