Summary

The math theory is developed in slow, simple stages and is directly applied to the solution of real problems. This method is backed up with "CHECKUPS" which act as a motivator, and "BRUSHUPS" which review the mathematical concepts immediately necessary for the continuance of the electrical development and applications.
