Fundamentals of Technical Mathematics introduces key, applied mathematics for engineering technologists and technicians. Through a simple, engaging approach, the book reviews basic mathematics, including whole numbers, fractions, mixed numbers, decimals, percentages, ratios, and proportions. The book covers conversions to different units of measure (standard and/or metric) and other topics as required by specific businesses and industries, providing a go-to resource on the topic. Building on these foundations, it then explores concepts in arithmetic, introductory algebra, equations, inequalities, and modeling, graphs and functions, measurement, geometry, and trigonometry, all the while supporting these concepts with practical applications in a variety of technical and career vocations, including automotive, allied health, welding, plumbing, machine tool, carpentry, auto mechanics, HVAC, and many other fields. In addition, the book provides practical examples from a vast number of technologies. - Presents foundational math concepts in a concise, engaging way - Covers conversions to different units of measure (standard and/or metric) and other topics as required by specific businesses and industries - Reviews basic mathematics, including whole numbers, fractions, mixed numbers, decimals, percentages, ratios, and proportions - Connects concepts with recent applications in technology, engineering, manufacturing, and science - Includes many practice and review problems

Important Notice: Media content referenced within the product description or the product text may not be available in the ebook version.

A new edition of a text for students in technical, pre-engineering technology, and other programs requiring coverage of basic mathematics. In 30 chapters the author presents an integrated treatment of mathematical topics (primarily algebra to calculus) which are necessary.

Technical Mathematics I and II offer a programmed, worktext approach to technical math with numerous examples and problems. There is a consistent emphasis on practical uses of the calculator throughout the text. Also included is coverage of geometry, factoring, and analytic geometry. The supplemental test booklet offers the instructor a full and flexible set of tests.

This textbook has been in constant use since 1980, and this edition represents the first major revision of this text since the second edition. It was time to select, make hard choices of material, polish, refine, and fill in where needed. Much has been rewritten to be even cleaner and clearer, new features have been introduced, and some peripheral topics have been removed. The authors continue to provide real-world, technical applications that promote intuitive reader learning. Numerous fully worked examples and boxed and numbered formulas give students the essential practice they need to learn mathematics. Computer projects are given when appropriate, including BASIC, spreadsheets, computer algebra systems, and computer-assisted drafting. The graphing calculator has been fully integrated and calculator screens are given to introduce computations. Everything the technical student may need is included, with the emphasis always on clarity and practical applications.
