Trades & Technology

First semester math for Electronics students, Applied Science, or Learning Assistance.

Oriented towards the returning student, this book eliminate math anxiety with simple yet precise explanations of basic math concepts as applied to fiels such as electronics, computers, construction and drafting. Practical examples demonstrate how to use the techniques in a particular discipline.

• a unique approach to the explanations of order of operations and graphing.

  • —pratice in summarizing numerical data in a graph and graphing on a computer prepares students for more advanced technical math courses and for applying these skills when they become technicians.

• can be used by non-native English speakers to eliminate in-class difficulties caused by learning math in another language.

  • —vocabulary words are closely defined, enabling the student to use them with ease in later technical course.

• calculator usage is thoroughly explained after the student has mastered the basics of doing the operations by hand.
