 For what it is, it's quite good Aug 13, 2004
By Warren Young
"electronics DIYer"
This is the book for you if you are struggling to understand how to apply the basic laws of electronics: Ohm's, Thevenin's, Norton's, Kirchhoff's, etc. This book starts from basic arithmetic, works slowly up through fractions, and only winds up at school algebra about halfway through the book. By the end of the book they've touched on vectors, trigonometry, AC power, and Boolean algebra. These more advanced subjects are all treated at a very basic level: the algebra is simple school algebra, the trig is no more than is necessary to understand vectors, the vector math is only there to make phasor diagrams useful, phasors are only covered to make 3-phase power understandable, etc.
The book's has a tilt towards the world of the industrial electrician, rather than that of the electronics technician. A symptom of this is that inductance is covered before capacitance -- motors are more visible than capacitors -- the opposite of the usual way in teaching electronics.
This book will not teach you electronics, per se. You need to be reading this book along with an electronics text.
This is a text book, not a narrative. It's all here as you remember from your grade school math books: word problems, partial lists of answers in the back of the book, worked example problems, etc.
If you've already read _The Art of Electronics_ by Horowitz and Hill and didn't find the first chapter particularly hard going, this book is way too elementary for you.

Basic Mathmatics for Electricity and Electronics Dec 03, 1999
This is without a doubt one of thee most detaild but easiest books to follow in the field of elecronics. It gives detailed information on everything from the very basic resistors, and Ohm's Law, to Thevenin's Theorum. I can't say enough about this book, it is my bible for everything I do. I use it as a study guide and as a referance for those awkward times when I get confused. I love this book.

MATHEMATICS CONTENT May 08, 2005
By DRYWASHER-BILL
SOME CONTENTS OF THE BOOK ARE:
Topics include Mathematics: (hereafter "M"), a language, a tool, a teacher; Calculators and Computers to help you study M; Algebra- General numbers; Algebra- Addition and Subtraction; Polynomials; Signs of Grouping; Equations; Powers of 10; Units and dimensions; Ohm's Law- Series Circuits; Resistance- Wire Sizes; Special Product and Factoring; Algebraic Fractions; Fractional Equations; Ohm's Law- Parallel Circuits; Meter Circuits; Divider Circuits and Wheatstone Bridges; Graphs; Simultaneous Equations; Determinants; Batteries; Exponents and Radicals; Quadratic Equations; Network Simplification; Angles; Trigonometric Functions; Trigonometric Values; Solution of Right Triangles; Trigonometric Identities and Equations; Elementary Plane Vectors; Periodic Functions; Alternating Currents- Fundamental Ideas; Phasor Algebra; Alternating Currents- Series Circuits; Alternating Currents- Parallel Circuits; Logarithms; Applications of Logarithms; Number Systems for Computers; Boolean Algebra; Karnaugh Maps; and much more! This book is geared towards the students of electricity, radio, electronics, and computers, whose need is to have an understanding of M principles directly applicable to electrical and electronic circuits. Just as a carpenter that build a building with a tape measure and skilsaw, the engineer employs M as their primary tool. Maybe this book is for you. Depending on competition, you may be able to get it at a price that's right for you.

 Not the best, but not bad Oct 27, 2006
By T. Ogilvie
This book contains everything that you need to learn the subject. However, IT HAS MANY ERRORS IN EQUATIONS AND ANSWERS TO SAMPLE PROBLEMS! The author or publisher just didn't take the time to check for mistakes as well as you would expect from this type of book. Also, I feel that the book is a little disorganized, and jumps around a bit too much for my taste. Also, the formating could be updated as well. Not many terms are defined in bold, nor equations seperated from the text very well. It kinda all blends together. Again, I think that the book teaches and contains all that you would expect it too, I just think it needs some modern touces to bring it into the same class as most "modern" textbooks. (It seems like the appearance and formating are the same as they were in the first edition, except any errors and typos have been fixed in the following editions.)
great dealer Mar 21, 2010
By Richard Anderson
Book was in excellent condtion, well packed, and shipped quickly at less than half the price of a new one. This dealer is certainly an asset to Amazon. I highly recommend him.
thank you,
R. Anderson
