Math for Electricians

Math for Electricians provides a review of basic math within a framework of electrical applications, helping students gain confidence and achieve success in math-based electrical tasks. The author has taken a practical approach to cover the basic math concepts used by electricians and other electrical industry professions, beginning with a refresh of basic mathematical operations and continuing with whole numbers, common fractions, decimal fractions, percentages, ratios, proportions, systems of measurement, electrical calculations, and algebraic, geometric, and trigonometric functions. Each mathematical concept relates to an industry application with real-world examples and practice problems.
