Numbering systems, graphs and calculations

Abstract

In this chapter we shall be concerned with certain topics in mathematics which are used frequently in electronics. Many students regard the study of mathematics as difficult and tedious and, often, even unnecessary. However, certain topics, particularly those listed in the chapter heading, are of particular interest to the student of electronics because they are of direct use in the process of understanding, using and servicing electronic equipment. Indeed, without a basic working knowledge of these topics it is unlikely that much progress can be made in gaining a working knowledge of electronic systems.
