[sdiy] Drum sample playback

[Kylee Kennedy]

I know this is getting a little off topic from the original idea but as
someone who took the art school route and didn't have to do Math classes
after High School (Pre-Trig/Calculus classes) I feel I lack the Math part
of designing circuits. Which textbooks could people recommend for going
back and learning the basics for EE math work? Would it be all Algebra or
what?

I'm reading the Art if Electronics and even though I can grasp most of the
content, I can't even begin to understand the math parts in there. Thanks
for any advice...Also I agree I've made lots of circuits from
schematics and used simulation apps to understand signal flow and such.
It's a ton of fun, I would just like to dig deeper and learn the math half
of why circuits works.

Thanks for any advice,
Love this list for these kinds of reasons,
Been over 15 years since my last Algebra class,
Kylee
