Abstract
The main objective of this Chapter is to understand the difference between linear and nonlinear transformations of signals and between linear and nonlinear electron devices. The necessary prerequisite for studying this material is theory of linear spaces – the course of high mathematics. After studying this Chapter, the readers will be able to determining the form of transformation performed by any electron device.

Notes
- 1.
Certainly, there exist no linear devices in the mathematical sense as discussed above. All elements and, first of all, active ones are nonlinear, at least, to the lowest degree, but the presence of low nonlinearity does not violate the basic conditions (2.1) within the given error of transformation.
