Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
This non-theoretical text with applications in technology is well-known for its many, fully-worked examples, numerous applications, and exercises graded by difficulty and grouped by type. New coverage of graphics calculator and added emphasis on estimation (does the answer make sense?) enhance the book's distinguishing features: marginal notes, boxed formulas, summary of Facts and Formulas, and Common Error Boxes.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Good starting point to refresh your math skills...,

This review is from: Technical Mathematics with Calculus, 4th Edition (Hardcover)
This is a general mathematics text specifically written at the junior college level. The book begins with the number system and surveys the whole gamut from Algebra to Trig to Matrices to Calculus. I use this text to refresh my skills AFTER reading a standard college textbook (ex. Stewart's Calculus). There are numerous worked problems. A great feature are the boxed segments that show formulae and special rules. The layout of the text is very good with wide margins and a good font size. I highly recommend this text as a good review tool and to brush up on your math skills.

This review is from: Technical Mathematics with Calculus (Hardcover)
I've been trying to buy this book for a looooong time, and I FINALLY found a Seller. The transaction was a little rocky, but the Seller & I finally worked it out, at least to my satisfaction. I do hope the Seller is equally satisfied.
