| Electronics is a science, and a very 
                    accessible science at that. With other areas of scientific 
                    study, expensive equipment is generally required to perform 
                    any non-trivial experiments. Not so with electronics. Many 
                    advanced concepts may be explored using parts and equipment 
                    totaling under a few hundred US dollars. This is good, 
                    because hands-on experimentation is vital to gaining 
                    scientific knowledge about any subject.  When I starting writing Lessons In 
                    Electric Circuits, my intent was to create a textbook 
                    suitable for introductory college use. However, being mostly 
                    self-taught in electronics myself, I knew the value of a 
                    good textbook to hobbyists and experimenters not enrolled in 
                    any formal electronics course. Many people selflessly 
                    volunteered their time and expertise in helping me learn 
                    electronics when I was younger, and my intent is to honor 
                    their service and love by giving back to the world what they 
                    gave to me.
