Course Description:
This course provides a study of basic mathematics with an application to electronic principles. Coverage also includes a review of numbers, fractions, powers of ten, powers and roots, logarithms, and basic algebra. Simultaneous linear equations and trigonometry are covered, including trigonometric functions, solutions to right triangles, trigonometric equations, polar coordinates, the application of polar coordinates, and the application of the polar form of complex numbers. An introduction of electricity and electronics, conductors and insulators, is covered. Direct Current (DC) concepts are covered, beginning with basic circuits, then series and parallel circuits, advanced level of DC circuits, including complex circuits, network theorems, voltage dividers, and meter movements. Laboratory exercises will be used to emphasize developing skills in the use of test equipment in measuring voltage, current, and resistance in complex DC circuits.
