Mims Forest M. III. Mini-Notebook. Formulas Tables Basic Circuits

Seventh Printing. — A Siliconcepts Book, 1998. — 51 p. — (Radio Shack).Forrest M. Mims III is an American amateur scientist, magazine columnist, and author of Getting Started in Electronics and Engineer's Mini-Notebook series of instructional books that were originally sold in Radio Shack electronics stores and are still in print. Mims graduated from Texas A&M University in 1966 with a major in government and minors in English and history. By the 1990s, components became smaller and it was difficult to assemble electronics projects with low-cost hand-tools. The interest in electronic kits and experiments declined, and in 2003 Radio Shack scaled back their project books and components. Four volumes of Mims’ 16 Engineers Mini-Notebooks are still available.
