What's New

{{collapseContainerClosed['whats-new'] ? 'Show More' : 'Show Less'}}
  • Completely revised and up to date, MATHEMATICS FOR ELECTRICITY AND ELECTRONICS, 4e is more cutting edge than ever. All explanations, examples, and problem material have been made more current and relevant to today's learners.
  • The Fourth Edition includes a new homework solution that provides online pre-tests, homework, tutorials, flashcards and games for algebra and trig, and testing capabilities for instructors with auto-grading.
  • The number and variety of exercises has been significantly increased in almost all chapters. Responding to reviewer feedback, enhanced calculator applications have been added, and more calculator examples are now included.
  • New exercises include green efficiency problems--solar, nuclear, geothermal, and hydroelectric--to incorporate the environmental side of electronics and electricity.
  • Helping ensure thorough understanding, explanations of concepts have been expanded and improved in several chapters.

Features

{{collapseContainerClosed['features'] ? 'Show More' : 'Show Less'}}
  • This proven, algebra-based text teaches learners to use and adapt formulas while also equipping them with the critical thinking skills necessary to understand, analyze, and solve mathematical problems.
  • Practical problems in the non-electronics chapters encourage learning by applying key concepts to everyday situations readers can relate to--such as cars, salaries, sales prices, grades, sports, and more.
  • Putting theory into practice, "Close to the Circuit" examples show readers step-by-step how to apply mathematical concepts to an electricity or electronics problem. "Error Boxes" point out common mistakes and stress the correct approach to the solution.
  • Integrating numerous applications throughout every chapter, MATHEMATICS FOR ELECTRICITY AND ELECTRONICS, 4e makes an excellent core text or supplement to a foundation electronics textbook.
