ABSTRACT
This chapter, together with Chapter 3, aims to provide you with a sound foundation in mathematical principles, which will enable you to solve mathematical, scientific and associated aircraft engineering problems at the mechanic and technician level. This chapter, on non-calculator mathematics, covers all of the mathematics elements in EASA Part66, Module 1, up to the level appropriate for aircraft maintenance Category B certifiers. Chapter 3 focuses on elements of further mathematics that the authors feel are necessary for a thorough understanding of the “Physics” and “Electrical Fundamentals” chapters that follow. A second objective of Chapter 3 is to provide the mathematical base necessary for further academic and professional progression, particularly for those individuals wishing to become incorporated engineers after successfully obtaining their Category B licence.
