From the Back Cover

the most difficult section of the PE exam just got easier. Mathematics for the Fundamentals of Engineering (EIT) Examination. for engineers, the mathematics portion of Part A of the PE (Professional Engineers') Examination represents a formidable challenge. Widely acknowledged as the most difficult section of the exam, this test is closed-book--all of which points to why it's so important to open this one. Conforming to the handbook provided during testing by the National Council of Examiners for engineering and Surveying (NCEES), this is the first-ever study guide to the mathematics section of the exam. This thorough and eminently practical book gives the PE candidate a solid grounding in the principles of mathematics applied in the basic engineering sciences and specialized areas of the discipline: chemical, civil, electrical, industrial, and mechanical engineering. With an emphasis on simple logic rather than abstract formulas, it clarifies concepts using every day terminology, 271 numerical examples, and 100 helpful diagrams. In addition, the book shows readers how to conserve time in the examination by making full use of the modern calculator. Reflecting the system that will be used exclusively in the PE Examination, this essential learning tool is written in SI Units. In sum, Mathematics for the Fundamentals of Engineering (EIT) Examination takes the mystery out of mathematics--and takes the anxiety out of the one most daunting aspects of the PE Examination.
