Math for Machinists provides students with a review of basic math operations (whole numbers, fractions, decimals, percentages) and measurements, and additional math topics directly applicable to machining and manufacturing, such as precision measurements, angles, area, volume, gear calculations, trigonometry, and working with coordinate systems. Creative machine shop-related problems and pertinent exercises help students develop their math skills, troubleshooting skills, and their knowledge of the trade. Updated by new author John Templeton, this edition includes eight new units, hundreds of additional applied practice problems, plus many new end-of-unit review questions throughout the text. Answers to odd-numbered problems are listed in the back of the text for self-assessment.
