Practical Problems in Mathematics for Electricians
Now in its seventh edition, Practical Problems in Mathematics for Electricians contains 45 instructional units featuring updated materials, examples, and expanded mathematical operations for students and trainees of the electrical trade. Coverage begins with simple addition and subtraction of whole numbers and progresses through basic algebra and trigonometry, developing readers' awareness of electrical symbols, basic circuits, component terminology, and calculator use for success on the job. Word problems designed to encourage the use of logical deduction are just one of the hallmarks of this tried and true guidebook that provides the mathematical background students need to succeed in the electrical field. Explanations at the beginning of each unit foster a better understanding of the concepts being presented; while problems related to electricity help develop an appreciation for electrical terms and practices.

I'm back in school after many, many years and, right out the gate, I'm taking math. Math is not by strong point. I can do math, but it frightens and alarms me.
The electricians' edition of Practical Problems In Mathematics is a very good, very comprehensive analysis of the various kinds of equations and formulas you will need as an electrician. You may not use all of the information from this book but, if you plan on working in electricity or electronics, everything you will need is here. Very simple, straightforward and concise, this book does the trick.
However, there are printing errors in this book, which is a real pain if you don't have the answers. Actually, some of the answers (remember the ol', "answers for odd problems in the back of the book?") are wrong. Printing errors in a romance novel are one thing; in a mathematics text book, they're completely unacceptable.
That aside, if you're looking for a solid grounding in electricity based mathematics, this book's for you.
