Good for technicians brushing up on math they need

This outline is not going to teach you a full course of algebra, trigonometry, or any particular branch of mathematics. Its reason for being is to teach the mathematics that technicians need in their daily work. This includes calculating wire sizes, impedence matching, the math of DC and AC circuits, and, of course, some basic trigonometry. If that is what you seek, this is the outline for you. It has enough exposition to function as a tutorial in its limited subject matter. It is a good companion to "Schaum's Outline of Basic Electricity, 2nd Edition", since it goes more into detail about the mathematics of the subjects covered in that outline.

for simple circuits

The maths is pretty simple. At least, you should think so, given that this book should be revision for you. It doesn't really go far into any involved maths. Just enough is covered to enable the description of basic circuit elements - resistor, capacitor and inductor. And to describe the AC impedance of a little circuit. A very minimalist approach. The book feels like a high school level offering. One would hope that at the university level, more advanced discussions of circuits would occur.
