Mathematical methods are integral to the study of electronics. To become proficient in electronics it is also necessary to become proficient in [[mathematics]].

== Mathematics in Electronic Engineering careers ==

Electronic Engineering (EE) careers usually include courses in Calculus (single and multivariable), Complex Analysis, Differential Equations (both ordinary and partial), Linear Algebra and Probability. Fourier Analysis and Z-Transforms are also subjects which are usualy included in EE programs.

Of these subjects, Calculus and Differential equations are usually prequisites for the Physics courses required in most Electronic Engineering programs (mainly Mechanics, Electromagnetism & Semiconductor Physics). Complex Analysis has direct applications in Circuit Analysis, while Fourier Analysis is needed for all Signals & Systems courses, as are Linear Algebra and Z-Transform.
