This review is from: Electronics Math (Hardcover)

This is actually an excellent book that is a little older, but has math changed that much? Not really, once math, always math! My ONLY minor complaint is that I actually found one mistake in the book. It was more of a mistake in verbiage than in a calculation but it always sticks in your mind that "are there other mistakes?" So far I haven't found any but then again, would I know?

Otherwise, the book is laid out excellent, and has many practice problems to beat the stuff into your head. It covers everything from basic math, to problems involving Algebra, Trig and Computer Science. All of which relate in some way to electronics. Most of all, what I like is that the math it teaches you, it also incorporates into practical electrical applications in which you can see the math in action.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book, July 5, 2007

I read this book not necessarily to understand electronics but for a solid understanding of basic math. From this grounding in basic math I feel I can move on to any of the higher maths if I choose to do so. As an adult going into a career (auto technician) in which math was required I found this the only book to be of any substantial help.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book except for errors in answers, May 5, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Electronics Math (Hardcover)

My earlier review was critical of errors in answers given for end of chapter questions and for test questions in the supplemental test writer. The book in general is good. Examples shown are better than average and the subject matter is good. My earlier review was written soon after I had been nailed by my students for having no correct answer in a multiple choice quiz question taken from Prentice Hall Custon Test 3.2. It was the only question I hadn't worked out to check the answer. Shame on me.
