From the Preface
In order to succeed in the electrical field, one must have a substantial background in mathematics. The eighth edition of Practical Problems in Mathematics for Electricians has been written to provide beginning students with these needed skills. The text starts with basic arithmetic and progresses through algebra and trigonometry. The explanations at the beginning of each unit provide the student with a better understanding of the concepts being presented. Most of the problems are word problems designed to encourage the student to use logical deduction to arrive at an answer. Many of these word problems are multistepped. Problems related to the electrical field are used throughout the text to help students understand electrical terms and practices.

In addition, an awareness of electrical symbols, basic circuits, component terminology, and calculator use is developed through the text. The answers to odd-numbered problems are provided in the back of the text along with a complete appendix.
