This edition of Mathematics for Plumbers and Pipefitters continues to teach the essential math concepts that have made the book the outstanding reference in its field. A collection of modern fitting materials demonstrates the various math concepts, and the book emphasizes a problem-solving methodology that can be applied to both current and future materials and job situations in plumbing and pipefitting. Enhancements to the text include simplified explanations, new drawings, a new unit on calculating partial volumes in odd-shaped tanks, and a reworked unit on heat-loss calculations that has been revised to keep pace with modern heat-loss methods.

plumbers review,
By A Customer
This review is from: Mathematics for Plumbers and Pipefitters (Trade/Tech Math) (Paperback)
First found out about this book while I was studying for my Journeyman Plumbers license exam.Found it at the library and was so impressed I ordered it from the publisher. Contains very much usefull information.Explains all about simple and compound offsets. Contains all the formulas you will need for performing plumbing tradework.I have the fourth addition and still consider it one of my best resources. I recommend it to anyone who is studying for their Journeyman or Master Plumbers exams or for anyone who would like to learn the professional way of performing tradework.

This review is from: Mathematics for Plumbers and Pipefitters (Applied Mathematics) (Paperback)
I purchased the book for an upcoming test, but I found a co-worker with it so I promptly returned it. I already have the 6th edition and thought there might be some new formulas, there wasn't. I definately DO NOT recommend anyone buy the book who already has the 6th edition. There is practically no difference. Don't get me wrong it's a nice publication with good information, but there's absolutely no reason to keep making new editions if the only thing that new is the front and back cover.
