0(set). If we are looking for a brief but accurate description of a common question, we often get frustrated. The 'standard encyclopedia', if consulted on a question like "what is an amplifier?', will give a brief description of the subject, yet it will not give any insight as to the underlying principles: Why do I need a transistor or why do I also need several resistors to make the simplest version of an amplifier work? If we then put the 'standard encyclopedia' back on the bookshelf and pick up a 'real textbook' on electronic circults, we will often be confronted with the opposite problem: After two pages of introduction which we may or may not enjoy, we will be presented with most sophisticated electronic circuits and can
