This guide, Computation and Mensuration, shows practical math for measurement and design.
It delivers clear, step-by-step methods for handling real-world numbers, angles, areas, and volumes with a focus on reliable results and efficient calculation.
The book covers core topics you’ll use in surveying, engineering, and construction work. It blends theory with hands-on techniques, emphasizing approximate methods when exact values aren’t practical and showing how to control error in calculations.
- Approximate computation and how to estimate errors
- Direct and indirect measurement methods
- Use of logarithms and how to compute with them
- Graphical algebra, areas bounded by curves, and volumes of solids
Ideal for readers who need solid, ready-to-use methods for measurement, design, and applied mathematics in fields like surveying and engineering.
