Mathematics for Electronics and Computers

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Best-selling author Nigel Cook's new book Mathematics for Electronics and Computers provides a complete math course for those who want to learn technology. Employing an “integrated math applications” approach, this book reinforces all math topics with extensive electronic and computer applications to show readers the value of math as a tool. Specific chapters in the section on Basic Math cover fractions; decimal numbers; positive and negative numbers; exponents and the metric system; algebra, equations and formulas; geometry and trigonometry; and logarithms and graphs. Electronics Math chapters discuss current and voltage, resistance and power, series circuits, parallel circuits, series-parallel circuits and theorems, alternating current, capacitors, inductors and transformers, RLC circuits and complex numbers, and diodes and transistors. Finally, the section on Computer Math looks at analog to digital, number systems and codes, logic gates, Boolean expressions and algebra, binary arithmetic, and an introduction to computers and programming. For anyone pursuing a career in technology.

From the Back Cover

With 12 textbooks; 23 editions, and 20 years of front-line education experience, best-selling author Nigel Cook has written this text as a complete math course for high school, community college, or vocational/technical college students seeking a career in electronics and computer technology.

This finely tuned, carefully tested, and accuracy checked volume is organized into three parts:

• PART A: Basic Math
• Fractions; Decimal Numbers; Positive and Negative Numbers; Exponents and the Metric System; Algebra, Equations, and Formulas; Geometry and Trigonometry; and Logarithms and Graphs
• PART B: Electronics Math
• Current and Voltage; Resistance and Power; Series DC Circuits; Parallel DC Circuits; Series-Parallel DC Circuits and Theorems; Alternating Current (AC); Capacitors; Inductors and Transformers; RLC Circuits and Complex Numbers; and Diodes and Transistors
• PART C: Computer Math
• Analog to Digital; Number Systems and Codes; Logic Gates; Boolean Expressions and Algebra; Binary Arithmetic; and Introduction to Computer Programming

As with any topic to be learned, the method of presentation can make a big difference between clear comprehension and complete confusion. Employing an "integrated math applications' approach, this text reinforces all math topics with extensive applications to show the student the value of math as a tool. Therefore, if the need for math is instantly demonstrated, the tool is retained.

Some additional features include:

• Student-friendly writing style
• Integrated math applications
• Section self-test evaluation points
• Circuit analysis tables
• Extensive end-of-chapter test bank
• Humanistic vignettes
• Worked-out examples
• Calculator sequence examples
• Proto-board pictorials
• Margin term definitions
