Synopsis

Master practical mathematics used in real industry, with thousands of worked examples and ready-to-use formulas.

This industrial mathematics text is designed for people employed in technical trades or preparing for technical study. It offers clear explanations, self-instruction, and lots of applied problems you can relate to shop work and engineering data.

Originally created to help shop foremen, master mechanics, and students in technical programs, the book emphasizes how mathematics applies to computation from practical formulas and commercial data. It covers arithmetic, fractions, powers and roots, measurement, and the use of handbooks, tables, and slide rules to solve real problems.

• Extensive worked examples and applied problems across chapters on operations, powers, fractions, weights, measures, and machinery topics.
• Guidance on using engineering data and technical publications to inform calculations.
• Structured lessons that build skills in calculation, measurement, and problem solving for industry settings.
• Supports both self‑study and classroom use with clear steps and practical focus.

Ideal for readers of industrial mathematics, shop floor workers seeking practical math skills, and students preparing for technical careers.
