Studying What electronics references do you use?

AI Thread Summary
To develop a professional understanding of electronics, it's essential to combine theoretical knowledge with practical experimentation. "The Art of Electronics" by Paul Horowitz and Winfield Hill is highly recommended for its comprehensive coverage and positive reviews. In addition to this book, other valuable resources include textbooks that cover circuit theory, digital electronics, and microcontrollers. Online courses and tutorials can supplement learning, providing hands-on experience. Engaging in projects and experiments is crucial, as practical application enhances understanding and retention of concepts. A balanced approach that integrates reading with active experimentation is key to mastering electronics.

I'm about to go to uni and want to develop a more professional understanding of electronics as I'm a hobbyist at the moment.

Obviously there is a lot of information online, but it always seems rather incomplete.

There also seem to be a lot of books around, but there is always the problem of choice. The book that I have read a lot of good reviews about is "The Art of Electronics" by Paul Horowitz and Winfield Hill.

Now to my question, what books and other references do you use and what are the essentials that everybody should have read to gain a more in depth understanding.

Books are good, but books along with experimentation produces a result that is greater than the sum of the parts.

Thread 'Self Learning Math/Physics'

Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...

Thread 'What should I do if I found a paper with same result as mine?'

Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation. This article's date received is 2022-11-15...
