We have two sources of information:
- The instructions will appear at this web site.
- The textbook: Basic Electronics for scientists and
engineers
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 instructions and
in the schedule online.
Other resources are available. See the resources link. You are encouraged to seek out still more references, and bring them to the attention of the instructors and your classmates.
