Math for Carpentry and Construction is designed specifically for carpentry and construction students, allowing them to learn and apply basic math skills in a very relatable context. Each unit begins with an explanation of the basic concept behind each math operation, followed by clear instructions for performing the operation, and a variety of carpentry- and construction-related practice problems to reinforce the concept. This format provides a practical approach to learn important math skills and troubleshooting skills that will be used in carpentry shops and construction sites. A new Appendix, Construction Diagrams and Terms, defines and illustrates key trade terms and components that students may have not yet been exposed to in their carpentry/construction program.

Provides information for carpentry students to strengthen their fundamental math skills and teaches them how to apply that knowledge in every step of construction. Includes in-text exercises and examples, diagrams, layouts, and illustrations, a reproducible estimate form, a glossary, and an index.

The Practical Problems in Mathematics series offers students of specific trades useful help in basic mathematics and opportunities to practice math principles on problems applied to their area of interest. Practical Problems in Mathematics for Carpenters, seventh edition, contains 43 instructional units progressing from the simplest basic arithmetic operations to compound problems applied in light frame construction. Each of the 43 units begins with a brief review of the math principal to be applied in that unit. The book contains more than 800 carpentry problems, including two comprehensive tests.

This book presents mathematics problems encountered in drafting fields. Through comprehensive compilation of integrated problems, this book fosters problem solving, critical thinking and basic mathematics literacy. This book is designed to supplement any mathematics or CAD text. Realistic applications are offered throughout the book as well as coverage on how to use a calculator for mastering math in drafting. Examples and figures cover a wide range of skills and levels of difficulty. Math principles are offered in problems that provide a challenge for most levels of ability. Ideal as a supplement to any core drafting, CAD text or developmental math text.

As the construction professional’s book of choice, Carpentry provides a highly illustrated step-by-step approach to carpentry skill development. The textbook contains 70 units designed to help develop and upgrade the skills and competencies required in the carpentry trade and introduces related concepts. In addition to the comprehensive coverage of tools, equipment materials, and proven trade practices, this edition includes coverage of unequal pitch roof framing, updated building codes and standards, updated tools and equipment, updated information on mass timber framing, and new review questions added to the end of each unit.
