We have three sources of information:
- The experimental instructions will be made available by the instructors during lectures.
- The textbook: Basic Electronics for scientists and engineers
- A student manual can be downloaded from the web. We will give you the address in class.
The experimental instructions do not cover any background material. The textbook provides the background information
while the student manual is a mixture between theory and experimental instructions. Reading assignments can be found in the schedule online.
This schedule is preliminary and subject to change.
