| About NLPBooks
We offer no nonsense, intensive, school mathematics text books, and electrical engineering text books, which help you reach the goal be able to do. School mathematics The school mathematics texts present integer and real number arithmetic. The texts include the theoretical background. We start from zero and build from there, so that there are no prerequisites. If you really want to know and understand these subjects these texts are for you. You may be a parent who wants to make sure your children know and understand arithmetic. You may be a student who wants to move beyond the "just do it this way and never mind why" typical methods of school instruction. You may be a K-12 teacher who is assigned to teach arithmetic, but is not trained to do so. You may just want to learn how to work with real numbers such as decimals and/or logarithms. We invite you to take a look at what we offer. Electrical Engineering The series of Electrical Engineering texts is for anyone who wants to know how to analyze and. in time, design electric circuits. You may be an engineer, computer scientist, mathematician, electronic technician, or an EE student who is tired of lectures offering incomplete explanations. The texts include the theoretical background. The CMOS IC Design and Layout text is for anyone who wants to add integrated circuit design skills to his/her repertoire. This text has depth that gets you started. Knowing elementary calculus and electric circuits expedites the learning process here. If you are not current with the elementary calculus used in some presentations, you can review the immediate topic in a calculus text. There is no need to stop everything in order to study calculus. If calculus is new to you, then you can learn the few specifics we use on an as needed basis. (By the way 'as needed' generates high motivation). We can recommend a realistic, no nonsense, calculus text that is available at a reasonable price. Understanding the theory usually requires knowledge of advanced mathematics, which many people have not been exposed to. We present the required advanced mathematics as the need arises. Nevertheless a significant effort may be required on your part. A serious effort is required We want to be very clear about the reality a serious effort is required to be able to do. We do not want to "sell" you with clever words. We simply want to fill your needs in these knowledge areas. |
| Why we focus on being able to do.
While we were attending a university our experience was that we would sign up for courses. Then we attend the lectures, the labs, do the homework, write up the labs, study hard, take tests, receive grades, and ultimately graduate. Then we entered the workplace. Not much time passed when we realized there is a tremendous gap between what we learned and what we need to know to be able to do. Consequently we made what, over the years, turned out to be a continuous effort to to be able to do. Furthermore, we know from experience that you are able to do a lot more when you know and understand the theoretical basis of a topic. A related benefit is that you are better prepared to adapt to the relentless progress in technology. |

This may be terrible "salesmanship", but why bother with us? Well, read on. School math Our short texts of about 100 pages focus on the theory of arithmetic, which we translate into well known, practical how-to-do-the-math procedures that are "taught" via our straighforward-to-use software programs. There is no rote nonsense here. Electrical engineering Many EE texts are 800 to 1000 pages. They go on and on. Most do not use Spice nor show how to use it, which we believe is a ridiculous omission. Most of their examples and problems are artificial in the sense we have not run into anything like them in the many years we have been designing a great variety of circuits from DC to 10 GHz. Our texts are about 200 pages. We go to the heart of the matter, develop it, and move on. The problems are realistic. We could be criticized for being "too brief." Our preference is to focus on a small number of circuits that include bipolar transistors, mos transistors, vacuum tubes and transmission lines in addition to the usual RLC passive components. Then with this fairly complete exposure, and being able to do, you can deal with the multitude of circuits you will encounter. ??Sold?? If you think what
we say makes sense and if we offer some skill(s) you want to acquire, then
you can decide whether or not you want to purchase our products.

| What we do not do
We do not offer courses based on these texts at this time. Nevertheless we are trying to ascertain how to offer courses on a one-on-one basis that get the job done at a reasonable price. |
| What we do
We have written Technical Text that teaches you what you want to know. Some texts include Computer Programs for you to practice what is taught and/or tell you sites from which you can download free software.

| About our text books
Our books are offset printed for us by a professional book printing company. The books are 6" x 9" in size bound with the neat wire-o binding so that the books lie flat when open. The inside paper is 60# white, and the cover paper is 10 point C1S (coated one side). The covers are laminated with a plastic film for protection. Cover background is a yellow that is brighter than what you see here. Contents are printed with black ink. |

| The texts require serious effort
Right here we want to say it again: Acquiring the know how requires a serious effort. We try to make it easier to acquire the know how, and we believe we have. Nevertheless, no matter how hard we try we still do not know how to make it easy. |
