9780132066327: Basic Mathematics for Technical Programs

Synopsis

An easy-to-use mathematics book designed along a practical, hands-on format that provides a unified approach to problem-solving by linking topics and their corresponding computational techniques. Mathematics for Technical Programs devotes special attention to mental activities involving elementary computations, fraction-decimal-percent conversions, and estimations to aid reader in achieving mathematical literacy. It assumes the use of scientific calculators to enable the reader to focus on concepts and problem-solving skills rather than time-consuming computations. The book also provides a unified approach to problem-solving not found with traditional arithmetic methods. A valuable book for any reader who wishes to improve his "mathematical literacy."
