I learn subjects more readily if they keep from diving into the
mathematics on page one. I don't find the math difficult it just
distracts me from the broad brush strokes of concepts. Once I get the
idea firmly in my head the mathematics helps me dig deeper. But starting
with the math just means it takes me longer to gain understanding.
Unless it is a math (or physics) course :) Show me examples, explain
the examples, then dig into the equations.

That’s a great book, “The Art of Electronics”. Horowitz and Hill, Harvard and
Rowland institute for Science. Interesting about the math. I learned the math,
though, in EE courses and found that to be a plus. Math with an application.
Seemed like I was always taking the math course after I learned the math the
semester before in an EE course.
Anyway, I bought the book when I was already on the job and it was a great
source of ideas and understanding.

Many thanks to everyone who responded! I have a clearer understanding now.
It reminds me of my own EE student days. I found learning electronics
challenging because our texts started with math and the useful properties of
this or that circuit kind of fell out as a side effect or mini-miracle. Then I
discovered the text 'The Art of Electronics' which approached it from a
different angle and things clicked much more naturally for me.
I like Skip K6DGW's description of the two approaches to Elecraft as
orthogonal. So I think I get it. Thanks, all!

various ways that people learn.Some are visual learners and learn by seeing
diagrams and images, some can gain comprehension just be reading.Others are
more hands-on learners, needing the “lab experience” to cement their
understanding of the concepts.[...]
