While not exclusively electronics, this classic (now in public domain in some editions) has a rare chapter applying calculus to telegraph lines and filters. “Calculus for the Practical Man J.E. Thompson PDF”. Basic Math Course for Electronics : A resource
Then, you remember that dusty PDF on your hard drive— Calculus for Electronics . You open it to the chapter on “RC Time Constants and Differentiation.” Ten minutes later, you realize your signal’s frequency is too high for the component values. You’re not just turning knobs anymore. You’re predicting behavior.
