Apply mathematics, algebra, geometry and trigonometry with step by step instruction to solving problems on the job. Practical application examples from various occupations are shown to illustrate the actual on-the-job uses of the mathematical concept. Illustrations, examples, exercises and practical problems expressed in metric units of measure are a basic part of the content of entire text. Emphasis is placed on the ability of the student to think and work with equal ease with both English and the metric systems.

Presentation of concepts is followed by applied examples and problems that have been drawn from diverse fields. Great care has been taken in presenting explanations clearly and in giving easy to follow procedural steps in solving examples. Each unit is developed as a learning experience base on previous units.
