Synopsis

This text covers basic mathematical operations requires for trades and technologies. This third edition presents concepts in both narrative and symbolic form with clear explanations. Emphasis is placed on self-study exercises, learning objectives, challenge problems and concept analysis questions. Existing trade and technology examples have been included alongside a thorough revision of end-of-chapter problems.

A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

College Mathematics for Technology, Fifth Edition, is an introductory technical math text that covers arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and trigonometry. Topics in these areas are introduced and reinforced using a step-by-approach and are supported by numerous examples. The approach to presenting the concepts, examples, and applications supports the standards set by AMATYC (The American Mathematical Association of Two Year College), NCTM (The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics), and MAA (The Mathematical Association of America).

Features of this text include:

• Tips—presented throughout each chapter, these boxes highlight helpful hints, common errors, and important points presented in the examples
• Self-Study Exercises—presented at the end of each section, these questions provide frequent opportunities to practice the concepts presented
• Concepts Analysis Questions—presented at the end of each chapter, these questions focus on the "why" associated with mathematical concepts, instead of just the "how to"
• Career Applications—presented at the end of the chapter, these applications highlight how math is used in the real world

Présentation de l'éditeur

For Technical Math courses that do not include calculus.

This text addresses curriculum and pedagogy standards that are initiatives of the American Mathematical Association of two-year Colleges (AMATYC), the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM), and the Mathematics Association of America (MAA). It uses simplified language that appeals to a variety of student learning styles, promotes active and independent learning, and strengthens critical thinking and writing skills. A “six-step approach” to problem solving, numerous tips, and clear, concise explanations throughout the text enable students to understand the concepts underlying mathematical processes.
