Thanks...I already have some basic electronics books and know Rod Elliott's site well (I'm building some of his amps), but I'm looking for a sort of shorthand electronics math text or other math resource for a liberal arts type guy who barely made it thru algebra in high school many years ago. I've actually thought of taking courses at the local community college but that's not practical. I know there are math texts geared to other specialties like machinists. Any for electronics...maybe not for engineers but for repair techs and the like?
Basically, I'd just like to know what keys to punch in a scientific calculator when I run into things like log, sin, cos in the equations I run into in my books, and get remedial help with things like what operations do do in what order (is that called "precedence" or something?). Once I get past simple Ohm's Law problems it gets fuzzy!
BTW, some more recent encounters with math (basic stats, for instance) in grad school have made me suspect that I'm not as hopeless as I feared where numbers are concerned...maybe just too easily frustrated in my youth. So I think I'm "trainable" at least.
