[snipped details re: the author's writing style]

Again, I've only gotten to Capacitance (IOW maybe 1/20th or so of the
book!), so I'll try to remember to comment more as I start studying
later chapters.

I can cope with much of this. Though i might move the some of the
math to appendices.



I hadn't thought of that, but it'd be a good idea. The book does have some
detailed theoretical info in the main body of the text that is interesting,
but extraneous, and it's occasionally hard to separate out what si
necessary, from what is interestign background.

I think that it's probably difficult for *anyone* who's expert in a subject
to shift into reverse so to speak, and put themselves into the mindset of
someone who is still learning. And the expert can't really ask someone who
is a beginner, because the beginner doesn't know enough to know what is
needed.

Would it be helpful to you if I gave some more thought to this, and tried
to organize and jot down some ideas regarding a learner's POV? I don't
want to go into a long "treatise" here if you don't need that <G!> But I
am interested in education and actually do enjoy those times I'm able to
teach/inform otheres :), so, if you're writing an educational book, and
think that some of my thoughts and notions might be of some use, just let
me know.
