The Electronics Introduction For Anyone And Everyone

This course is meant to create a pathway into learning about modern electronics, for people who are scared of the math and general trickery that usually comes with it. A hands-on approach is taken in this course through a combination of lecture and experimentation to teach you about the different basic components used in modern electronics. Additionally, visuals are used throughout lectures to explain the theory behind how these basic components work and their role in the everyday electronics that we use, while keeping the math to a minimum.
