Introduction
The content of this book is based on my own collection of notes while sitting examinations for EASA Part 66 B1 & B2 license.
Algebra is a mathematical modeling system that we can use to determine unknown values called variables.
We only need to look at the very basics, which can be used to solve problems in many areas of the design, manufacture, maintenance and operation of aircraft. So during the first exercise we will look at some simple equations and how to solve them.
Those of you with a good understanding of algebra may wish to try the questions at the end of this section first, if you can answer all of the questions correctly then there is little point in reading the revision section.
Some very commonly used formulas in aviation are algebraic equations such as:
I = E/R or Current =
Therefore if we know the value of I and R then we can re arrange the model to determine the value of E.
E=IxR
We can consider that an equation represents an argument for which both sides must be balanced.
