Why I Made This Collection

As an electronics engineering student, I've spent way too much money on textbooks that I barely opened. This collection is my honest take on books that actually helped me understand the material and pass my exams.

Some of these were required for my courses, others I found on my own when I was struggling with concepts. I've included my personal experiences with each book and how they helped me with specific topics. Hope this helps you find the right resources without wasting time and money like I did!
