You’ll learn the rationale of schematics, how to draw or interpret each symbol, and how the symbols interconnect to form functional circuits. You’ll also get a chance to do a few simple experiments. Then you can continue your quest in any field of electronics from amateur radio to space communications, from surround sound to virtual reality.
