Hi Ole, The equation you gave looks like some mosfet device physics equation. Most microelectronic circuit design books cover quite a bit of device physics before getting into the meat of circuit design. You won't find that in Art of Electronics. Also, the type of math which is used in circuit design is (generally) a lot easier to understand and deal with than the jumble of symbols with two and three subscripts which is usually found in device stuff.
