Textbook Sleep #4: Electrical and Computer Engineering Snoozefest

from Textbook Sleep · host Jim Nolan

Welcome to this special edition of Textbook Sleep, the Maximum-Strength Sleep Aid—special because it will be incomprehensible to most of us, and certainly to me. Few of us have the stomach or brains to study electrical and computer engineering. Even for the mathematically gifted, it is a death march through one impossibly difficult course after another. Tonight I will read about electronic components, from the only textbook in this subject with words I could remotely hope to pronounce. It is Open Circuits by Eric Schlaepfer and Wendell H. Oskay. You will almost immediately zonk out. Your last conscious thought will be how grateful you are not to be an engineering student, even if they eventually amass more riches than Scrooge McDuck. Ready... set… sleep. This recording will end quietly. Get full access to Pieces of Jim at jimnolan1.substack.com/subscribe
