This title is so much better than "Op Amps for Dummies" would have been. I may not be an expert in a field, but that doesn't make me stupid.

The book itself looks pretty good, too. :)

Having spent a lot of time studying op amps at uni (and thus maybe counting as "experienced" in them) can I say: this is a great read.

Op amps are actually reasonably simple but incredibly useful devices in lots of areas. This breaks it down into simple steps - in fact I wish I had had this at the age of 17/18 when I first met the devices :D

Keep security issues in mind if/when opening those links to .pdf files.

it looks like there's an unpatched critical vulnerability in Acrobate reader that even fixes of a couples of days ago don't address.

I wonder if it is much safer to use Preview.app on OS X instead?

Worth knowing about in general. In this case, it seems unlikely that Texas Instruments will be hosting malware-infested PDFs.

From the first link:

In its blog on Trojan.Pidief.E, Symantec advices users to consider disabling JavaScript in Adobe Reader

This is the case for most Reader vulnerabilities. In Linux I have moved out everything in Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/plug_ins except SearchFind.api. I only ever once had to reinstate the plugins to fill in some PDF-based form.

Remember: There are not PDF vulnerabilities. There are Acrobat vulnerabilities. Just don't install it. Use a safer program to view PDF files.
