About this title

Synopsis

This book provides an introduction to mathematics applied to electronics, computers, electromechanics, and automation. Organized to be compatible with electric circuits books currently in use, the book's content balances a formal proof-orientation against the need for expediency in developing a broad, general mathematics ability. Addresses prealgebra topics, number notation and operation, solving equations, fractions, applying mathematics to electrical concepts, graphs and graphing techniques, vectors, phasors and the mathematics of computer logic. For individuals with little exposure to hard science and little understanding of measured quantities and their precision.

From the Back Cover

The text requires knowledge of only mathematics fundamentals. It introduces new mathematical concepts in a direct manner reinforced by hundreds of examples, scores of realistic pictorials and figures, dozens of calculator drills and review summaries, and problem sets. In all, this fifth edition provides more than 4,600 exercises and more than 600 examples.

New to the Fifth Edition:

• Chapter 2, "Number Notation and Operation," is rewritten with an emphasis on precision rounding and number notation.
• Chapter 3, "Quantities and Units of Measurement," is updated to IEEE/ASTM SI 10-1997 standards to provide readers with the most current standards for applying the SI system to electronics.
• Expanded coverage of metrology concepts in Chapter 12, "Applying Mathematics to Electrical Concepts."
• New Chapter 32, "Mathematics of Computer Logic," offers readers a comprehensive introduction to digital logic.
• New Glossary provides readers with a single place to locate all key terms in the text.

Other features:

• Consisent reading level throughout.
• Integrated use of the scientific calculator.
• Authoritative use of SI units and conventional metric practices with electronics.
• In-depth treatment of graphing functions, empirical data, and the interpretation of graphs.
• Comprehensive coverage of computer number systems and computer logic commonly associated with automation controls and digital equipment.
• End-of-chapter definitions of key terms.
• Answers to all odd-numbered problems, including many detailed graphical solutions, and answers to all calculator drills.
