Our book covers the fundamental mathematical skills needed to solve algebraic equations in electrical, electronics and information technology. This book emphasizes the use of computer simulation for solving mathematical equations in electrical, electronics, and information applications. MATLAB which stands for "MATrix LABoratory" is becoming a more popular software tool for solving computational problems in the field of science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Interns and coops working for the governmental, industrial, and commercial environments are using MATLAB. Higher institutions both at the undergraduate and graduate levels are using MATLAB to solve problems in their teaching and research disciplines. In this book we will use MATLAB as a tool to solve some common mathematical problems associated with electronics and the science of electricity. Chapters 4, 7, 8, and 10 involve discussion, example problems and homework assignments on MATLAB. Additional problems associated with MATLAB are provided in Appendices E and F. Our book will be one of a few on the market to incorporate MATLAB as the suggested software tool to be used as an aid in solving problems associated with electrical and electronics applications.
Dr. Dewayne Randolph Brown is a tenured associate professor in the Department of Electronics, Computer, and Information Technology within the School of Technology at North Carolina A & T State University in Greensboro, North Carolina. He has been working at the University since 1997. Dr. Brown received his Bachelor's Degree in electrical engineering from the University of South Carolina located in Columbia, South Carolina in 1990. He received his Master's Degree in electrical engineering from North Carolina A & T State University located in Greensboro, North Carolina in 1992. He received his Ph.D. in electrical engineering from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University located in Blacksburg, Virginia in 1997. Dr. Brown's teaching and research interest are in the area of Wireless Communications and Global Positioning Systems (GPS). Dr. Brown has brought $10 million dollars worth of in-kind grants into NC A & T State University. He had served as principal-investigator and co-principal investigator on research grants totaling $1 million dollars into NC A & T State University. He was the leading author on three textbooks published within his field of study. They are Fundamental Mathematics for Electronics and Information Technology, Mathematics for Technologists in Electronics, Second Edition and Mathematics for Technologists in Electronics, First Edition.
