I do intend to have a function generator, scope, etc. on my workbench eventually. I realize I won't be able to use them for everything, but the flexibility of being able to do some of my lab work at home will be worth the investment. Besides, I enjoy playing with my ham radio gear so I already...

Thanks! I'll definitely be looking at the 465B. The price is too good to ignore and it appears to be just what I'm looking for.

Hello everyone, I'm trying to acquire a used oscilloscope that I can setup on my workbench at home. I want one that will work well for an EE student, only cost around a couple hundred bucks, and be sufficient for the first couple of years as an engineer. Is there is a particular brand or...

So just thought I would fill you all in on how my last term went: I ended up with low B's in both Physics (electricity & magnetism) and ODE, and pulled an A on my capstone Physics project, all while maintaining my full time job. So all said and done it was quite a confidence booster, and I...

Well the encouragement helps... Thanks! BTW my work background: 2 years industrial maintenance (in my dad's service business) 12 years CNC machining, including 3 years as programmer and 2 years as quality inspector (my current position).

I did well in algebra... I had a 3.9 GPA in my math classes up through differential calculus. It's only been the math since then that I've struggled with. While Linear Algebra seemed harder than I expected, my biggest difficulty was keeping the terminology straight. As far as working harder...

Will do... thanks!

Thanks to everyone for your encouragement. I haven't had a grade worse than a C yet, and my overall GPA is still around 3.4, so I think I'm actually doing ok. I can probably attribute my Cs to the teacher. He taught a lot of math theory but rarely showed how to work the problems, and that didn't...

So I'm currently a second-year college student, and I plan to transfer into an EE program at a four-year institution next spring. Overall I've done well on my math, but I struggled a lot in calculus with series and multi-variable integration. I also just finished a linear algebra class, and it...
