  • Very advanced.

    This book holds a great amount of information on the subject of electronics. By chapter 6, you are into wave form. This book requires that you know advanced algebra and some calculus. So if you do not know these mathematical disciplines, I guess you will need "Algebra: a Self-Teaching Guide". You can find all these other books to help you to learn the mathematics side of the electronics. I was not ready to dive into this advanced book's content. When I made the dive, I was at the shallow end of the pool. So the book is not worth it for me. But it is a good book.
