EXCERPT: Preface - Scope of the Book. This book is intended primarily for students in technical and pre-engineering technology programs or other programs for which a coverage of basic mathematics is required. Chapters 1 through 19 provide the necessary background in algebra and trigonometry for analytic geometry and calculus courses, and Chapters 1 through 20 provide the background necessary for calculus courses. There is an integrated treatment of mathematical topics, from algebra to calculus, which are necessary for a sound mathematical background for the technician. Numerous applications from many fields of technology are included primarily to indicate where and how mathematical techniques are used. However, it is not necessary that the student have a specific knowledge of the technical area from which any given problem is taken. It is assumed that students using this text will have a background including algebra and geometry. However, the material is presented in sufficient detail for use by those whose background is possibly deficient to some extent in these areas. The material presented here is sufficient for three or four semesters . . .. Fourth Edition 1st Printing. Hard Cover. Very Good/No Jacket (As Issued). 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
