Now you can improve your understanding and application of electronics theory through writing simple BASIC Programming code. Based on a series of lecturers given at a Higher Education College where the author was able to show students how to get a greater knowledge of electronics mathematics through teaching not electronics, but BASIC Computer programming. Students became hooked and were often found long after the class had ended still working on their assignments and producing work that was far in excess of what was required.
Using a programming style very similar to the BBC Micro computers of many years ago users are able to write simple (or complex) computer programs based on the VbScript language (a cut down version of Visual Basic) but with a user interface resembling BBC BASIC. The software that is designed to work with any standard textbook where students can explore a problem and learn by programming to find the solution usually not requiring more than one line of code that can be checked against a given answer. Resulting in a far greater understanding than the bland textbook alone.
The Programming Graphic user interface GUI (shown above) is a just a small part of the software that is available to download. Fully tested software on Windows 10.
Features of FREE Software (Incl. Physically Disabled Users) to accompany your eBook: Last published 2010 - All Windows platforms including Windows 10 - Hundreds of color fully interactive images where every value change updates the graphics and calculations - Explanatory text - Related topics are presented together in single windows - Default typical values - Full color printing single page with image for user values, text, calculations and graphs if part of topic - Copy & Paste (a feature that was used to construct all the accompanying eBook content) - Ideal for teachers making student hand-outs and assignments - Calculations and graphing widows open independently to check students calculations - Full screen whiteboard technology for whole class teaching (teachers packs eBooks and School Site Licence) - Self-Assessment questions with random values with multiple choice answers - Electronics and maths Toolbox (electronics and STEM titles) as used by professionals to quickly make all those standard calculations without having to remember the formula - For Business Studies Students there are additional features to interactively explore Break-Even charts and Supply & Demand curves - Drop down menus with topic search - Click forward and back through topics makes revision more enjoyable -Specialist Editors for equations, logic, graphs, statistics and algebra enable calculations and equations from any standard textbook to be inserted and explored changing just one value or variable at a time - BASIC programmer with full instructions to learn in minutes using statement wizards - For physically disabled users software can be operated independently of the keyboard using mouse clicks only or other voice, sight or wind activated pointing devices to choose topics and change values.
