Straightforward, concise and written in simple language this little gem covers it all. From basic arithmetic through elementary trig with plenty of examples, tables and illustrations it's all here. Simplifies those things you have long been afraid of when it comes to numbers. Get it along with the companion application workbook and you'll be set whether you're a tradesman or student.

I'm a UA Pipefitter out of Cambrige, Oh. I love the way this book helps out those who want to learn how to read a rule add or subtract fractions. This book shows anyone how to "Craw, walk, run" with math. It touches on some algebra and trigonomitry. Has lay-out of tubing, setting trusses, spiral staircases, pipefitting, many other areas. I'll teach my kids how to do basic-intermediate math when they go to school. This book is a great guide for instruction or instructors! Even has self checking formulas with your math problems.
Keeps your skills sharp in math if you've forgoten some things from school. This book is 6 inches by 7.5" small enough to put in tool box.
By the set: Dictonary & Guide together.

This review is from: Chenier's Practical Math Dictionary (Perfect Paperback)

This book can be a real life saver. It can be used as a general math book, but it really shines in answering questions and problems that crop up with great frequency in the building trades, that schools just don't teach anymore. It's amazing how many people show up on a jobsite, and really don't have the math skills needed to solve problems quickly, and get the job done. It provides real practical solutions, and unlike any other math book I've used, shows HOW to arrive at the correct answer without using a calculator.
Excellent publication. I have one in the truck at all times, and anyone that works with me that's coming up in the trades can count on getting one.
I would recommend getting this as a reference, and also get the Practical Math Application Guide along with it. There won't be any problem you can't solve!
