This review is from: Teach Yourself Algebra for Electronic Circuits (Paperback)

This book is probably at least two steps above the typical self-teaching guide/book for learning circuitry.
I use this as a reference for things that I have long forgotten.
You will learn everything that you need to know about electrical circuit analysis related to electronics.
Be aware that it does not cover transistors, ICs, etc,. But you need to learn what this book covers before you get to semiconductors.
Highly recommended.
