Mathematics for Electronics and Computers

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 Text Features 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 definitionsCook, Nigel P. is the author of 'Mathematics for Electronics and Computers' with ISBN 9780130811622 and ISBN 0130811629.
