Available in both hard- and soft-cover editions, Technical Mathematics underscores the importance of algebra, geometry, and trigonometry in today's sophisticated, state-of-the-art trade/technical work environments. Unlike other books, this book integrates practice problems and examples directly into its explanations of math concepts and eliminates the need to labor through theoretical derivations and formal proofs. In addition to new, step-by-step examples and applications problems drawn directly from a variety of diverse occupational fields, this edition also features expanded coverage of fractional exponents, measurement prefixes used in the electronics and computer industries, the binary system, polar coordinates, quadratic equations, and more! Integration of algebraic and geometric principles with trigonometry, combined with thoughtful sequencing of the material, helps readers develop the analytic and critical thinking skills required to solve realistic, occupation-specific problems.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great Math Book,
By
This review is from: Technical Mathematics (Paperback)
I used this book in a College Technical Math class. It teaches the principles of algebra, geometry and trigonometry. There is also a section on English vs. Metric conversions.
The step by step instructions are easy to follow and the illustrations give more meaning to the text. The end of chapter quizzes are a great review to the contents of the chapter. There are lots of questions in different styles to help reinforce the information presented. This book is a great way to learn and reinforce mathematical concepts. It is a good study on its own and also works well in a classroom environment.
