Abstract:

"The book is intended for a two- or three-semester course and is taught primarily to students who plan to pursue technical fields. The primary strength of the text is the heavy integration of technical applications, which aids the student in pursuit of a technical career by showing the importance of a strong foundation in algebraic and trigonometric math. This version contains 100% SI units."--Productd escription.

Summary

The new edition of this tried-and-true text from Allyn Washington, the pioneer of the basic technical mathematics course, preserves the author's highly regarded approach to technical math while enhancing the integration of technology in the text. The book is intended for a two- or three-semester course and is taught primarily to students who plan to pursue technical fields. The primary strength of the text is the heavy integration of technical applications, which aids the student in pursuit of a technical career by showing the importance of a strong foundation in algebraic and trigonometric math. This version contains 100% SI units.
