Well put. One addendum:

> but I had Dr. Bose as a professor in college and he was a fantastic instructor

Most folks knew him from the audio course. Less known was how long his history of teaching, eg his network theory book in the late sixties. That book was how I learned some of the more exotic transformations. (Most folks know parallel and series. It turns out that there are things like pi-delta/wye-delta and friends.)

RIP.

Do you have any links to lecture notes or the like?
It's funny, back in those days the equivalent archive of such things were that people would write a book for use in the class.

Anechoic pointed me to his 1956 MIT thesis on non-linear systems some time ago. It can be downloaded here, http://dspace.mit.edu/handle/1721.1/38918#files-area
