Description: The latest step in the evolution of Mathemtics for Electricty & Electronics, the third edition makes use of more exercises and examples than ever before to make it the most direct route to a thorough understanding of essential algebra and trigonometry for electricty and electronics technology. Practical, well-illustrated information sharpens the reader's ability to think quantitatively, predict results, and troubleshoot effectively, while repetitive drills encourage the learning of necessary rote skills. All of the mathematical concepts, symbols, and formulas required by future technicians and technologists are covered to help ensure mastery of the latest ideas and technology. And finally, the text is rounded out by real-life applications to electrical problems, improved calculator examples and solutions, and topics that prepare readers for the study of calculus. Product Benefits: - readers will learn to use and adapt formulas as well as gain critical-thinking skills necessary to understand, analyze, and solve mathematical problems
- the non-electronics chapters feature practical problems that encourage learning by applying key concepts to everyday situations that readers can relate to, such as cars, salaries, sales prices, grades, sports, and more
- "Close the Circuit" examples put theory into practice by showing readers step-by-step how to apply the mathematical concepts to an electricity or electronics problem, while "Error Boxes" point out common mistakes and stress the correct approach to the solution
- a companion CD-ROM contains interactive math tutorials to assist in clearly illustrating theoretical math concepts
- the Online Companion features additional problems for readers seeking supplemental drill and practice opportunities
