This is brilliant. I genuinely enjoy and find the animations and TeX diagrams immensely helpful. Especially "looking in" or out of the DUT. I've got some back lectures to watch --- thank you!
Glad that people are finding the explanations clarifying! I'm really hoping to get back to building stuff - but I want to continue this series at least through Ebers-Moll, the Early effect, and Miller capacitance, otherwise half the videos are going to have hand-wavey explanations. Glad people are being patient enough to stick with me!
@@KludgesFromKevinsCave I've been _very slowly_ working through the main _Art of Electronics_ volume. I've heard the lab book and included projects are great.
@@justovision The main volume is a massive tome, isn't it? A lot of it is very skippable on the first pass - in fact, a lot of people find it easier to start with the lab book, read the recommended sections of the text, and treat the rest as reference material.
@@KludgesFromKevinsCave It'd make great bedtime reading if it wasn't so heavy. In general I've found that even if I can't internalize the concepts initially, reading through advanced sources is useful for when I see something in a couple of other contexts, that initial exposure allows the concept to "click." That's the goal anyway. I think the lab book scared me off because it sounds too much like homework.

Thank you Kevin!
To add to this, somehow the transitions showing impedances being added or removed or simplified helps me immensely.

@narutowindel My pleasure! I genuinely enjoy teaching.
"Impedance transformer" is an great way to look at it.
Glad you find the term useful! I got it from the lab manual for _Art of Electronics,_ which contains many gems of the sort.

@@KludgesFromKevinsCave I hope you keep up the series and providing another context! Thank you!
