The discussion centers on self-studying electrical engineering at a hobby level, with a strong recommendation for "The Art of Electronics" by Paul Horowitz and Winfield Hill. This book is noted for its comprehensive coverage, starting from basic concepts and advancing to microcontrollers and analog circuits. While it is not strictly a beginner's book, it is highly regarded for those with some foundational knowledge in circuits. Participants emphasize its effectiveness for self-learners looking to deepen their understanding of electronics.
PREREQUISITESThis discussion is beneficial for hobbyists, self-learners, and anyone interested in gaining practical knowledge in electrical engineering without formal coursework.
osnarf said:I was originally going to take some electrical engineering courses along with my aerospace but have decided to just pursue it as a self study instead. I really just want to be able to do things at the hobby level. Could you recommend a good book or several books that would help get me started? Thanks, I appreciate it.
