That's interesting, Mark, no I'd not heard of the said theorem. I'll go through it tonight. My situation here is strange. I once got hold of an Owen Bishop classroom book so I guess this is the way you teach. That is, active work-sheets and class tests with group activities. It brings back memories of my old biology classes with Dr Houle. My first introduction was Chas Miller's Valve Radio and Audio book so there were never any classes or tests to do. Chas devoted a few short pages to ohms law and that was it. The rest was diagram understanding and diagnostics. I moved on to American Ham written in 1960 and this is very deep but not active as in a class. Plus the terminology is American. You don't sit exams with these books and most of it is explanation, then example and then one question. There are limits. Being self-taught I sometimes find little gaps because I didn't go fom A to B to C. With high voltages that can spell dangers - I had a couple of zaps when starting out. So this is something to ponder. Some of us out there are self-taught and we sometimes get heat. I think maybe Rick McWhorter was self taught and he got some real criticism on Amazon over Americanism and a maths blunder in his book.
