Product Description
The mathematical concepts that must be understood and applied in the machine trades and manufacturing are presented in clear, real world terms in the new edition of this best selling book. The understanding of those concepts is stressed in both the presentation and application in all topics, from simple to complex. The presentation of basic concepts is accompanied by realistic, industry related examples, illustrations, and actual applications. Drawings, rather than words, often inform and motivate the user. Algebraic and geometric principles are carefully sequenced and integrated with trigonometric applications.

Mathematics for machine technology review August 7, 2000
Temple College in Temple, Texas was awarded a $600K Grant to update the skills of the workers in industry. The math skills of the existing and new employees are exceptionally low. The difference between normal math as I call it and the aproach of the "Mathematics for Machine Technology" is that the students do not know where to apply the math that they have learned. With Mathematics for Machine Technology the aproach is applied mathmatics. This math is applied every day in the industry and now the math becomes functional. This is a great teaching aid to use by itself or to complement the math that is now being taugh. I bring measuring instruments such as verniers, caliphers, micromenters and others into the teaching enviroment to stress where the math is used.
