Has anyone seen the newest edition? Is it much better than the 2nd? I own the 2nd but am interested in the newer one if it's better.
How much calculus is required for understanding the book? Does it require skills past calculus 1? Are there any other prerequisites for understanding this book?SredniVashtar said:It's a different book. First four chapters are more or less the same. Then it... forks.
You can download the index and a sample chapter (chapter 9) from the publisher's website - and if you look on the web you will find a dropbox account with the same file and the blessing of Winfield Hill.
Confront the new chapter 9 with the old chapter 6 and you'll get an idea of how much it has changed.
I have the second edition, and I will not get rid of it now that I have the third.
P.S.
If you can, wait for the first reprint to have these http://artofelectronics.net/errata/ fixed.
(and maybe they will call kelvins just "kelvins" and not "degrees kelvin")
Thank you thankzthankz said:not sure if there are any diff eq in the book, calc 1 should be all you need. how do I know this ?
