I hope you're joking, because without that math, you can't begin to
truly /understand/ electronics. Mathematics is used to model the
physical world. When you understand the math, you have a much better
comprehension of the physics involved.


Math in basic electricity is fundamental learning. You can't begin to
understand electronic circuits with inductance/impedance/reactant/etc..
Things like low pass high pass filters, simple RC circuits, tuned circuits
oscillators. These are the very basics. Understanding trigonometry and
algebra are also a must.
