Basic mathematics for technical occupations

by Ronald Bohuslov

Basic Mathematics for Technical Occupations contains the mathematics necessary to understand and solve problems in technical and trade vocations. An awareness of numbers and a desire to achieve mathematical skills are the only prerequisites for mastery of the material. The computations and techniques are designed to motivate understanding and appreciation of the principles used in technical mathematics. Each topic is developed through realistic examples, discussions, illustrations, 'and pertinent problems using the latest data and information. The problems are from the major occupational areas and are designed to encourage the student to develop problem-solving techniques as well as manipulative skills. Content and arrangement of chapters give the instructor maximum flexibility in choosing the course content to meet the needs of individual classes. Most chapters are limited to two or three major topics, and are organized around a principle or idea in such a manner that the student is a
