I need recommendation about complex analysis book. As I'm electrical eng. student, it should cover everything one engineer need to know about that mathematical field, but without strict mathematical formalism :)
Voltage = 9.0 V, Current = 20 mA, Capacitor (C) = 10 microF, Resistance before (too high) [R_A = R_B] = 10 k Ohms.
In a a-stable oscillator, calculating the resistance needed for two resistors (R_A = R_B) to discharge and charge a capacitor (C) so that a LED does not blow. Currently my circuit...

It took me 15 minutes to read one page of my introduction to circuits book.

Hello. Is this possible, or would I be missing out on a lot of groundwork? Any options?
I'd like to work on anything involving space, like satellites and such.
Thank you!?
How common is it for electrical engineers to not particularly like programming very much? A bit more background: I go to a school in which the electrical engineering and the computer science department are very much intertwined, and so there's a big focus on computers in the EE curriculum...
First off, thank you for spending your time to read this and respond. I'm quite aware that there have been other posts on this and I've read through nearly all of them, but I'm looking for a bit more personal advice.I started typing out a bit about myself and my experience thus far with college...
Copper ::: 60.7 x 106 S m^-1
Silver :::62.9 x 106 S m^-1
Gold :: 48.8 x 106 S m^-1
Why is the electrical Conductivity of these elements this way? I mean down the periodic table it should increase in case of GOLD but instead Gold is have far less value of Electrical Conductivity.
As I am sure everyone is aware, there are still folks who don’t believe SRT and GRT. While 99.9% of them are nut-jobs, there is at least one that I respect – Tom Phipps specifically. I am not familiar with any of his writing before the advent of the GPS satellites. In any case, he now accepts...

What is the formula for speaker input/output?
On a related topic, on a motor an input of x (electricity) equals output of y (movement) and an input of y (movement) equals output of x (electricity)
x=y and y=x
Is the theory of x=y / y=x applicable to speakers? x=electricity y=loudness
