Index.

This text provides a solid foundation in algebra, trigonometry, and other related math concepts and applies these concepts to the field of electronics. To support these applications, the text also covers important electronics concepts, including networking, telecommunications, and fiber optics.

Some of the features of this text include:

  • Clear discussions of the concepts and theories.
  • Numerous examples.
  • Exercises and application problems.
  • End-of-chapter review material.
  • Free StudyWizard tutorial software packaged with the book.

    The use of graphing calculators is integrated throughout the text. The TI-86 is the featured calculator, but in many cases calculator sequences are also given for non-graphing calculators.

    To supplement the student text, a free companion website with additional review questions is available to instructors and students.
